I found this awesome bedroom set this weekend! I love the look of this old furniture after it's been painted. I grew up with this style of furniture and thought it was hideous. Imagine that! This stuff is SOLID and it transforms beautifully. The large dressers make awesome media cabinets! It is missing a handle so I got a super great deal!
The nightstand handles are different than the dresser, so I figure the door hardware can be slightly different than the drawer hardware. I found some similar large chunky hardware in this new Etsy shop called Perfect Hat.
I think I can use two for the center doors on the dresser and it will be perfect! What do you think?
I find it very difficult to photograph mirrors and am still working on that. I think these mirrors would be awesome in a master bath with dual vanities. They are pretty big and heavy.
The queen size headboard is has really, nice detail! This was an awesome find. I usually break up sets and sell the pieces individually. Should I keep the set together? How do you shop for bedroom furniture? Pieces or a matching set? I would love your comments and feedback.
I can not wait to start transforming this! I plan to list it soon! Have a great last week of winter! Yaaayy!
Hmm I buy matching sets most of the time. Wow that is a gorgeous set can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel! I do some matching some not for myself. I think fear of painting a whole set the same and no one likes it is why I like to do different. Then it's only one piece that takes while to sell.
ReplyDeleteHey there. Love this post. I nominated you for the Liebster awards. please check my post for details
ReplyDeleteSandy, I can't wait to see how you transform this furniture! I love how you find these pieces and make them new again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! I haven't decided yet. I'll list it first and see what kind of interest I get.

I can't wait to see what you do with this. I see those so many times. And I don't really like how dark they are. So I'm interested to see what you do with it.

What decade is this style of furniture from? I was thinking late 70's but not sure? I have a dresser with nice detail on the front ( kinda of similar to yours) I am getting ready to refinish it, hope to see yours before mine for some inspiration. lol
ReplyDeleteI would say 70's. I love these when they are painted. I have it listed to be painted in my Etsy shop. Someone typically snag's them but I usually guide them on a vision for transformation. Just finished a black lacquer and a white lacquer piece.
