I am so excited to share my transformation of this damaged, dark, discarded set of mid-century modern dressers! When I picked the dressers up they were missing their legs and also had some of the integrated wood handles removed.
The first step to their restoration was to replace the dresser’s missing legs. After inspection, I discovered the dresser’s bases were also damaged by the previous owner placing something heavy on them for a long period of time which caused them to buckle under the pressure of the weight. So in stepped my handy husband Derrick (who is an Aircraft mechanic) reinforced the damaged bases of the dressers with 3/4″ plywood, to make them structurally sound again, and install the new legs to the dressers. We also had to remove some of the integrated wood handles to balance the appearance of the dresser because of the missing handle. This made me sad but it was necessary. I moved the drawers which had no handles to the bottom row of the dressers with plans to add new simple pulls to them after refinishing the drawer fronts
Now the dressers were standing tall again and were stronger than ever.
Now I got down to the business of filling the screw holes on the bottom sides of the dressers from installing the plywood to reinforce the base, sanding the cases, applying 2 coats of high adhesive primer, fine sanding, then applying 3 coats of kitchen cabinet grade Benjamin Moore paint in crisp white. I also worked on stripping off the tired worn finish off the drawer fronts and tops. After stripping they received a wipe down with mineral spirits and left to dry overnight. Once they dried they were sanded thoroughly and very carefully first with 120 grit sandpaper then 180 grit for the finish.
After applying the first coat of oil to the tops of the dressers they started to shine.
When I picked up the dressers I saw the VicArt furniture maker stamp on the inside of the drawer and felt I had to try to save the dressers. I have refinished the same maker’s furniture in the past and knew there was some amazing wood to be found.
Wow, I was so thrilled to find amazing walnut wood grain under all that dark-dated finish on both the tops and the drawer fronts!
I am so pleased with the final outcome and how the crisp white paint lightens and brightens them allowing the amazing lines and wood grain of the drawer fronts to be the heroes now.
Stunning – and I am so thrilled I save a couple of pieces of furniture from going to the landfill with some elbow grease and know-how!
I bet you will never look at disregarded furniture the same again.

When my husband and I decided it was time to renovate our main bathroom in our 1958 home our goal was to not only update its dated finishes but to fix its badly planned layout. We believe the bathroom went through a sad renovation in the seventies which was not well thought out or done with quality workmanship. How bad could it be you might ask? Well, you could literally sit on the loo and do a load of laundry at the same time lol. So we knew the stacking washer dryer had to be removed to allow for more space and a better layout. There was another washer and dryer in our basement so removing them from the bathroom was not a big inconvenience. The previous reno had also taken space from the adjacent bedroom closet making it very small and almost unusable.
Here was my list of wishes for the bathroom:
With this new layout our goal was to:
Can you believe this bathroom is smaller than before (but way more functional) and feels two times as big!
Our intent for this bathroom matches the result – dramatic, bright and airy. The hexagon wall tile is dramatic but not overpowering, the matte dark gray floor tile grounds the space which allows the hexagon tile to be the hero of the bathroom. The floating streamlined sink vanity adds to the airy feel. Its rich warm walnut veneered drawer fronts add warmth to the bathroom that could seem cold with so many hard finishes. WE LOVE IT SO MUCH.
We chose a big-box vanity which floated off the floor – thus taking up less space visually. It had gloss dark grey drawer fronts which we found didn’t add a lot of warmth or interest to the bathroom. So we took a deep breath and jumped in and researched veneering them with walnut. We also decided to change out the standard handles that came with the vanity with dramatic long chrome handles. I love the rich warm effect the walnut drawer fronts have on the space and how along with the new handles the walnut veneer took a standard big-box vanity and made it stunning!
Another way we decided to add warmth to our bathroom was by using a blanket ladder as a towel rail instead of a traditional one and using large-scale nature photography. I feel they added a lot of warmth, texture, and height to a room that could feel cold with a large number of hard surfaces in a bathroom.
Can you believe my awesome husband made it from this blanket ladder from a sketch I drew for him? I was unable to find one that was tall enough or sturdy enough so he said he would give it a try for me 😍
Here are the details:
1. Cut down 2 cedar 8 foot long 2 x 4’s to 3″ x 7′ and eased all the edges with a sander.
2. Cut 1″ hardwood dowels to the measurements from the drawing.
3. Mark and drill 1″ holes 1″ deep in the cedar sides at measurements from the drawing.
4. Glue and clamp dowels in place overnight.
5. Stain ladder with 2 to 3 coats and let dry 24 hours.
6. Apply 2 coats of Polyurethane following directions on the label.
He must really love me ♥️
I also added warmth to our bathroom by adding warm tones through plants/flowers, vintage pottery and amber glass as accessories.
We love how our Modern Hexagon Bathroom turned out 😍 We are even more proud that we did all the work in it other than the new plumbing rough-ins and the installation of the frameless glass shower enclosure and are now looking forward to many years of long hot showers in it. Let me know if you have any questions about anything. Here is one last shot of the Before and After of our main bathroom renovation.
