Vintage Red Dresser

Hey there everyone!  
 
 I spent a good chunk of my week working on custom orders and General Finishes Holiday Red was, by far, the most requested color.
 
This is such a pretty, pretty red. And, I say this not being a huge fan of red, but this just has that prefect true color to it without the undertones of orange or blue.



While dressers used to be one of my top furniture pieces to paint, they have been kind of scarce in the last several months. So, when I found this one while out furniture shopping I was super excited. It was in structurally fantastic condition and just needed a little cosmetic work.
 




And the details are gorgeous.
 
 
 
Look at those carved feet!
 



I finished this piece with wax for a true, hand finished vintage feel.
 

 

This weekend we are planning on hitting up a whole new to us grouping of stores. I'm wicked excited to see what awesome pieces we bring home!

  2. Gorgeous! I'm dying to try a red dresser - do you keep yours or do you sell them after posting? My only worry is that it won't coordinate with anything in my house and I won't be able to sell it when it's finished.... but yours is SO fantastic!
    Found you through Between Naps on the Porch - thanks for sharing!
