Dresser paint help

il y a 10 ans

I purchased this dresser and am going to rehab and paint. I need suggestions.

Room theme is navy blue and light grey. Help with paint suggestions! I don't mind a pop of color!

It was in too good of a condition to paint. We sanded down the old finish and stained it a darker espresso. It looks amazing. I'll post finished pictures today. Thanks for the advice!

That one transitional piece that must be perfect.

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Good evening Caroline, I took a look at your site. Your paintings remind me alot of a old friend of mine who knew Jackson Pollack a long time ago... Amaranth Ehrehnalt One thing I couldn't find is the size of some of your paintings, small or large. I clicked on small format, we see the painting and details of the painting, but few with the size. Same with the furniture...would help some future clients to know the size. Good luck, an artists life is hard, especially promoting one's work...hopefully there are more people who care for actual art than just wall paper... Thanks for sharing your site, Lynn

Spicy orange if you want to go bold, grey with silver or pewter glaze if you like it more subtle. Depends on the style you're going for:)

Cool piece! A light whitewash with done of the wood peeking through would look great. You could do a few boldly colored designs on it if you wanted to add color, and maybe some crystal fixtures. Have fun and best wishes!

Adult bedroom. I've attached the headboard which were designing the room around.

Try Annie Sloan Chaulk paint. It is available in a large variery of colors and can be mixed to create your own color and look. Many local craft stores have seminars on ideas and how-tos. Look on the Annie Sloan website to see if a store near you carries it. Otherwise you can order it. :)

Niki, isn't that a dresser from the late 1930's?

acroteria I think so. I just purchased it, and am picking it up this weekend. I haven't actually been able to inspect it.

I think a mustard yellow would look gorgeous with the colors you have listed. Here is an idea for knobs:

Painting it a mustard yellow or white would look great!

If you want a pop of color go with oranges and yellows. You might even want to apply a mirror to the top for added light refraction. Changing out the hardware would also vastly update the piece. However! This piece looks quite old you may just want to wet sand this gorgeous piece and apply new stain and varnish. It is so lovely.

what color is the room? the curtains? the rug? the bedding? If you want energy in the room, I'd pick a color that is in the current stuff but NOT prominent and use that color on the cabinet (although I agree it is really pretty wood but I'm going with your painting question). If you want the room to be calm and soothing, choose something that is a MORE prominent color and repeat it in a different tone, or even choose a lighter version of your headboard.

The cabinet has some water damage on the bottom. If I can save it I'll just keep it natural. I'm thinking mustard if the damage is too prominent.

I would do Fire Engine Red! Is it for a boy? Or an Adult? Or turquoise! Paint it one color, then another. Sand it a little.

The water damage appears to be on the drawers, so maybe you could just paint them & leave the rest natural. I also like the dresser with floral drawers & sides.

happyasaclam, Can you explain a little about the Annie Sloan Chaulk paint? I have seen that suggested on discussions several times & kept wondering why people would paint their furniture with chalk board paint. From your pictures, apparently I have misunderstood & its not chalk board paint. I like the weathered look on those pieces. I want a similar look with white paint on a headboard we are going to make out of old doors.

See the above pictures posted by happyasaclam. Annie Sloan paint supposedly can be used on most any surface. It's finish is semi-flat, "chalky" finish.... and is sealed with a special wax for durability. Also - many users like to use one color over another for an antique or aged look, or just to give some surface visual interest and depth to a furniture piece. Google it. Also check out the Miss Mustard Seed line of similar look "milk" paint.

She has a website you can go to to find a craft store that sells her paints and has seminars. What I like about it is you don't have to sand off the finish or degloss the piece you are going to paint.

I would choose a cool toned shiny white and add crystal pulls for a glamour look. Make sure the white tone works with your grey headboard and blue. You could then carry the crystal into lamps or accent pieces. If you keep the piece neutral it will live with you for a long time. Hotel fluffy white duvet would be smashing for the bedding. Find accent pillows to pull the room together.

This would be perfect in your room with a red color, darker antique glaze applied!

Don't paint. Use a little paste wax and a slow speed buffer to make it shine like the day it was finished.

How about starting with a dark true marigold orange at the bottom and adding a little white paint as you go up a drawer. The top drawer could be just a hint of orange and the top could be covered with white gold. It's a shame you can't just restore the lovely original wood

I like the color of it now for contrast. Blue and gray can be cold colors so a warm helps balance it. Maybe try some kind of wood wax or oil to richen color....???maybe????

Good eye by the way. It has great curves. The drop pulls are awesome and the castor wheels are to die for. The piece could be used as is. Just shine it up

It's a beautiful piece that needs some TLC. I would not paint it.

Personally I would not paint it, but maybe a whitewash or a silvery (not metallic) grey may look nice.

I had a similar old dresser. We painted it white and bought some fun hardware. It looks great.

I'm so glad you were able to save the wood. Even though there are so many pretty options with paint, I always prefer the wood stained, preferably a dark color. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
