I like the mid-century modern style and thought this would be a fun piece to update when I found it at a garage sale. It was only $25 and is a Broyhill Premier Modern Classic. Quality I tell you, quality. The top was ruined by a spill and scratched up and the right front leg was broken off. After fixing the leg with some “L” brackets, I sanded down the whole dresser and all the drawers. I wanted to learn how to stain wood. Unfortunately the top was too damaged to stain, so I chose to paint the frame of the dresser and stain the doors and drawers.
After two coats of each I gave the dresser a light coat of polyurethane to seal it.

I LOVE THIS. I want to do something similar with our credenza: http://middleclassmodern.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-twenty-dolla-holla.html. You have inspired me!
Such a fabulous redo. Turned out fab.
Thanks for sharing.
Looks great! I always love the white and wood look!
wow. looks great! …and for $25… i never have luck like that at garage sales….these new yorkers know too much about a good thing.
It is beautiful!
That is gorgeous! Can you tell me what color of paint and stain you used?
I used Rustoleum's Dark Walnut stain and the paint is just a basic white you buy off the shelf. I made sure to prime so there wouldn't be any bleed through, too.
