PAINTED MID CENTURY DRESSER spanish console

 

 

I thought this dresser looked very Spanish these four arches across the front,

so I nicknamed it the Spanish Console.

 

It almost looks like 12 small drawers but it really is only 6 drawers, 3 on each side.

I changed the original hardware for mini ceramic knobs hand made in India.

 

 

I opened the center up for a shelf by taking out 3 center drawers and painting inside.

I worked on this piece in sections and over a few weeks because Im very limited with space

so it is hard for me to work on a piece that is 71" long effectively.

 

I added wonderful large loft style castors so it would move easy and look great.

I saved the warm walnut finish on top and found a matching shelf for inside.

 

It was used as a TV console before I got it so the transformation into a Media Center only made sense.

BEFORE                                            AFTER
I dont have a loft space to photograph it in but try to imagine how magnificent it would be
in that kind of home.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN DINNER FROM YOUR DINING TABLE spanish console desk

 

 

 

Everyone knows I love to cut up furniture to create new and amazing pieces.

This next project was no different.

I took an unwanted 80s dining table and cut the ends off to make 2 console desks.

 

 

I finished them both in very different styles, one in a sea side blue and the other an aged spanish white.

 

I needed back legs to finish off both tables you can see where they came from here:

It has a faux glazed Venetian plaster look to the top.
