In reply to Sandie. I bet it was a very nice suite and very unusual to still have three pieces! gail

My grandfather had a 3 piece bedroom suit just like that dresser and it was painted in a light gray 🙂 thanks for giving it a little more life ❗️

I agree b, free is no-holds barred! Even good deals at thrift stores. I only have one piece of furniture in my home that is original. It was my mom’s dresser. I refinished it, and brought it back to life.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. It’s much appreciated.

The dresser turned out great! I have many pieces of antique furniture & have only painted 1 piece; most are in excellent condition, purchased many years ago. However, if I was lucky enough to get something free, I wouldn’t hesitate to paint it. Nice job Gail!

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! A good rescue is what it’s all about. It’s better than something going to the trash.

I have this exact same chest! Have had for 50 years. Mine is in slightly better shape than yours. I’m going to just paint drawers on mine because one drawer is the only veneer damage. I’ll use either gray, black or paint a scene on it.

I’m glad you painted this one. “Antique” or not, this dresser was hideous and a quick coat of paint made it presentable and fresh looking again.
