ART DECO TURNED SHAKER vancouver subway art dresser
How to take an Art Deco Dresser and give it a Shaker Style.
One thing that dates art deco furniture is the flush and rounded tops.
So I removed the original top and replaced it with a nice fresh pine board cut to size.
With some walnut stain, wax, and my new gloves we were off to the races.
Having a curvy kick at the bottom is common in a lot of furniture
but I removed this one to get straighter lines and offer a masculine feel.
Two final steps to help achieve the look was to add the vintage metal wheels
and simple metal knobs down both sides of the drawers.
And thats how you get a shaker look from an Art Deco Dresser.
More beauty pics can be seen on yesterdays post
Next time Ill share how I did my lettering and finish on the drawers.
FAUX MARBLE painting a dresser
Our furniture make over class was a great success and the trip over all was fun but Im pooped out!
Until I get all the photos in order, all my supplies restocked, and the tools put away,
Im going to show you some projects from the past and ideas I have not shared yet.
Its an *OLD WORLD* style dresser with a faux marble top.
We got this dresser many years ago. It was bright teal when we got it!
The color was very pretty but it had many stickers and the finish was damaged in several places.
It really deserved a classic finish!

| BEFORE and AFTER |
Since we redid our dressing room it really did not have a place with us any more.
So it was time to move on and let it go to a home where it could be used again.
Thats when it went to live in Joelles foyer!
It was meant to be!
The Chippendale style hardware I used was sprayed with OIL RUBBED BRONZE
from Rustoleum. Its a delicious metallic chocolate color.
The top has seven coats of poly in this photo but a few more were applied to
give it a thicker glassy finished look to the faux marble top.
I learned to faux paint marble long ago for an in expensive bathtub surround.
I do not have more photos or a tutorial on how to paint this but if you want to learn the
different technics, there are tons of tips, tutorials, and videos on line to help you.
The body color is ASCP old white with Minwax dark wax over top.
The bright teal is still inside lining all the drawers. How fun is that?
Traditional outside with a bit of fun inside.
TIP:
If you are thinking about painting the inside of your drawers remember there are several areas on the
outer edges of drawers that rub against another part of the dresser. Paint doesnt slide well against
other painted surfaces, and each layer of paint can make things tighter, so try to paint only one of the
surfaces that rub and not the other. In the photo I have offered one example but the most important
place to use this tip is on the side of your drawers.
Paint either the drawer side or the inside edge of the cabinet body but not both.
Consider which one is seen more often.
