Yeah, it’s always difficult to know what people are going to like. I may change up the feet and handle in the future.

About the Homeright link… they haven’t published my post on their site yet. It’s suppose to go live very soon. I apologize for the inconvenience. 😉

In reply to Gail Wilson. So glad you did wood and paint. It’s adorable. I think the brass or even silver contrast with the wood and paint would make it richer looking. But, it really depends on the person that buys it and their taste. Your homeright link doesn’t work even signed in.

Well, the one dresser turned out better than the other, but that’s b/c I apparently didn’t mix the stain well enough so all of the color ended up on the second one (whoops). Ended up more of a cherry instead of “American” I think it was called. Not a bad color but a bit much with the navy blue accents.

I can understand that, it’s definitely a bolder color! I painted my center island when my roommate was away for the weekend. I had told her blue but apparently she was imagining something very different. Took her a while but she likes it now. Personally I love the look of neutral walls, etc, and a statement piece or two.

Navy blue is one of my favorite paints to use for a makeover. It creates such a classy look. Yours is stunning

In reply to Katie. Yay! so happy you like the navy color. I have two projects at my booth waiting for a new home, so I guess not everyone likes that color. This isn’t my first two toned navy paint job. I love the look as well. I bet your projects look awesome! gail

Jennie,
The top (closed) is a solid writing surface (so to speak). I didn’t do anything on the inside. These cabinets make great bedside tables these days because the beds are so high. Vintage nightstands are much too low for today’s beds. 😉
I have done solid writing surfaces on other sewing cabinet redoes. You can see one here: https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/red-side-table-repurposed-sewing-cabinet/
