Paula is an antique walnut lingerie dresser with lots of broken veneer, and missing hardware, but needs a lot of TLC. First I glue back the missing veneer, after two days of drying I cleaned it well and begun my secret magic tricks. Paula begun to look a lot better, but she was begging for more.
I dressed her up with some antique glass knobs, some gold designs around the knobs, then some more
hand design on each side. Then I waxed the entire piece and I'm not sure if I will put the casters back on. She is ready to enjoy in her new home, perhaps a beautiful bedroom. I used Annie Sloan paint which I love because it is non toxic and it goes like butter in the old wood.
Please let me know if you think I need to put the original casters or not, I like it as is very simple and elegant.
