ReWorked Home

Complimentary snacks and sweet treats? Yes please!

This gal sold yesterday in stories but I thought we ought to give it a spot on the feed! Here I thought a hutch would not be that exciting, but you all loved it! Of course being a mid-century modern piece helps. I took the glass doors off for the majority of these photos but they do exist!

Last pic is the original fbmp listing photo. I had to go the extra mile with cleaning, in fact it needed an initial wipe down in a nearby parking lot before we could even drive home with it 😬. I refinished the majority of this piece, but left the top shelves alone as they were in great shape. My favorite part of this restoration is the walnut veneer I put down instead of the laminate top and I’m obsessed with how much of a difference it makes. (This is the area you see the glassware, top of the bottom half)

I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for more like this one!

Vintage Mid-Century Modern six drawer dresser by Century furniture! Finally took this beauty out of storage. It was in good condition overall but still needed a full refinish to remove scratches, complete repairs and get a more even color. It’s a two toned piece featuring both oak and walnut. The trim acts as the handles for the drawers! Update: SOLD

Reminded myself I have the freedom to paint antiques and boy does it look classy! Late 1800s to Early 1900s. This large rustic chest of drawers is made of solid cherry wood. It has been repaired, primed, and painted in a deep dark navy with a refinished wood top and legs. Huge amount of storage in this one with the bottom drawer being the largest drawer I’ve ever worked on haha. Many of you know I love to restore antiques! But a large bit of damage made a restoration highly unlikely for this old gal. ❤️ SOLD

This little cutie came my way from a fellow refinisher already partially sanded! Love that for me! I rarely see these dressers with just a couple drawers and tall legs. They make great little sideboards or console tables with storage. You get the character of an antique but also a lot of function. It’s a solid oak antique piece with carved leg detail and tiger oak drawer fronts. The piece would have originally had an attached mirror so I cut off that overhang and added a piece of oak trim to match. Sold!
