glass topped chest of drawers
Comments (9)Thanks for the encouragement. It appears that the yellowish color was the original finish, as there is raw wood under, no stain or varnish/lacquer. I'll think I'll keep the glass and put a nice fabric under it. I've already reglued the loose veneer and started filling in some of the spots where it's missing. It appears to be a good quality piece. The ring pulls are screwed on in the usual way, but the holes under the pulls are beveled to accomodate the parts that extend through the drawer fronts, and the pulls have a tiny nail at the bottom to keep them from spinning around. How many drawers have I seen with circular marks where the pulls spun around when the screw was loose? Also, the three drawers are graduated in size, and the decorative carvings wrap around the exterior of the three drawers as a unit, ie. the center one only has carvings at the sides, etc. The only problem is that I may end up using it in another room as a storage piece, which means I now have to continue the search for a chest for my bedroom. I guess I'll decide when it's done where to use it. The drawers are deeper than normal, making it great for storage....See MoreNeed Help w/ Drawer Hardware ....
Comments (5)Target has a lot of nice ones for good prices. They have glass pulls and then nickel (with a little colorful acrylic accent)that would look pretty. If you only want knobs you can always use a plate to cover the old holes. Here is a link that might be useful: glass pulls...See MoreNeed help with drawers in small bedroom!
Comments (19)Another vote for elfa. Go ahead and take out the rod and shelf. You can reuse the shelf with the elfa. Then you can arrange shelving, hanging, and drawers however you like. If you really do want to keep the rod and shelf, you can install elfa below it, and place the drawers where you want. Or, as mentioned above, the freestanding drawers can set on the floor below the clothes. They come in different widths. tip: plan it out now, take it to the Container Store to have them flesh it out for you (or do it online) and WAIT until New Years to buy it when it goes on sale for 30% off. and Shades-of-Idaho, lovin' the old suitcases all painted white. Looks great!...See MoreReconditioning my parents' Midcentury chest of drawers?
Comments (29)message me if you want me to do it. if you bring it over and pick it up, I can have it done in a jiffy! BTW, it's listed as Raymond Lowey for Mengel. It's white oak, cerused. (on the top. liming wax is mixed into the grain) here's the original two tone finish and how those handles are supposed to look! (this is from Chairish and it's selling for $3800!! doesn't mean they'll get that, but I guess it's rather rare!) 1stdibs has it too https://www.1stdibs.com/creators/mengel-furniture-co/furniture/storage-case-pieces/dressers/ I could ceruse it. now that would look awesome. would cost more because it's a ton of work, but that graining you have is perfect for cerusing. slightly diff model $4500 on 1st dibs all one tone and one that's painted they had two on 1stdibs that sold for over 4K, I bet. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/dressers/ebonized-dresser-raymond-loewy-mengel-furniture/id-f_7777353/ all black and beautiful. I love this version. It's stunning in ebony. with this I'd do the inner drawers in a cobalt lacquer. ( I do colored inner drawers on a lot of my pieces)...See MoreRelated Professionals
