These antique doors left me with a little trauma. A client reached out wanting me to finish restoring these after she tried to start the process and realized she was in over her head. Removing the old paint and finish was the easy part. The wood was so old and dry, it splinered as I hand sanded the details. I received several large splinters right under my fingernails, much like bamboo shoot torture. They were worth it though! Just look how beautiful they came out! The large repair areas are invisible.

I love a dipped wood set! You can highlight the wood grain while still getting a pop of color from paint. I bought the fluted nightstand pair a while ago and was just waiting for the perfect dresser to pair it with. I found this nine more mid-century modern dresser with fluting that paired perfectly. The nightstands have brass feet at one point that had been removed and lost. Normally I would have tried to replace them, but despite my best efforts I was unable to find brass foot covers that were tall enough. I recreated the leg shape with wood Bondo, and you never know that there was an indent there before.
