Now I need to decide what to do with it. I had my first inspiration idea before seeing it in person. Something like this below by Tobi Fairley. I would probably use a dark charcoal gray paint instead of black.
But then I saw the dresser in person and it has a great burl wood pattern on the front, so I am a bit hesitant to paint it. Maybe I should just touch up the finish and do a high gloss poly like below? Then paint the hardware a satin nickel finish. Now I'm confused as to what direction I should go.... suggestions?
Update: Day 1 mini makeover- found some silver spray paint out in the garage and did a few quick coats, and some poly. Then used some dark wood polish to give it some life back.

It depends on what kind of look you're going for since both inspiration pics have different looks. However, if you paint it since it has texture, it will not be smooth like the one in the pic, but it would be just like painting wood, so it's fine. However, i like what you've done with it so far and don't think you have to paint it. Also, it's not in disrepair as the finish seems fine, so a bit of poly or glaze might just be enough to add some pizazz. That was a mouthful, sorry. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey, I have decided to leave it with the wood finish. I will be adding some wax stain to give it a bit more dimension. I'll post a pic when I am done and when it has some accessories on top!
