Furniture Refinish Part 2

Well these were a pain in the BLEEP but I am very proud and happy with the way they turned out.
Lets start with the dresser

BEFORE: 

This was in bad need of a re-do you can see it here but the finished looked like mustard was smeared all over it.  Then to top it off white spray paint was sprayed on the top and spattered all over the mirror.  It took many scrapings and tedious sanding but I got the top nice and smooth.

AFTER:

I wish the lighting was better, but this is a nice warm pink.  IT is hard to find a warm soft pink but I did it and I am very pleased with it.  The white spray paint came off the mirror with a razor blade and my needle work looks great above it.  The white frame (and the gold one you can see reflected in the dresser mirror) is next to be re-finished.







Now onto the Desk and Hutch, I drove by this on the side of the road on my way to take Trinity to Gymnastics.  I liked the feminine shape.

BEFORE:

My Son thought I was crazy when I asked him to help me load this on the truck.  But it had nice lines and was in good shape.  Not as well made ad I would have liked but I could make this work.

AFTER:

As you can see it fits in perfectly in my girly Rose room.  I decided to make this a creamy antique white, not wanting to go pink and make everything too matchy, matchy.  I am on the hunt for drawer pulls.  Originally on the hutch drawers were two nobs and plastic pulls on the desk drawers.  I didn't like them at all.  The trouble is the holes on the hutch are closer than the drawers on the desk.  I also need to raise the hutch as it is too low for a computer.  I have an idea in mind that I think will look great.

Furniture Refinish

I have been busy, busy, busy.  In-between everything I am working on my bedroom furniture.  The bedroom suit is very old and out-dated. At one point someone took a can of white spray paint and sprayed the top of the dresser and side table, not even bothering to try not to get it on the mirror.  Well, it was free.

The side table use to look like the dresser...YUCK! You can kind of see the white paint on the mirror.
  Being as chicken as I am I started with the side table to see if I could live with the pink.

I couldn't get the dresser out in the garage fast enough after I saw how the side table turned out.  The paint was Glidden Barely Blush in an Eggshell finish.  I then topped it off with several coats of a Semi-Gloss shellac.
On my way to taking Trinity to Brownies I saw this sitting out front of a Thrift store

It is not as well made as the bedroom suit but it had the soft shape I wanted.  The structure is sound but it was not well taken care of...someone taped the drawers shut, Sam carved and wrote their name several places on it.  But I am thinking a nice Antique Cream color...I don't want to go with the soft pink...way too matchy matchy for me.

The bed to the suite is OK the mattress slides down from the headboard then my pillow slides down between the mattress and the headboard...total pain. Besides you really cant even see it, its in the first photo.  I have another bed in the basement...solid wood.  Once I have everything finished and my back stops hurting and I can walk again after sanding and painting the rest of the furniture I am going to tackle it.
