Antique KINDEL Dresser Makeover and a Welcome Back!

Art is beauty
by Art is beauty
I got this great dresser for a steal off CRAIGSLIST.
I don't know how many of you know this, but where I live was
known as FURNITURE CITY.
Grand Rapids Michigan.
They used the river to float lumber down to the lumber houses.
With that came an affluent number of furniture producers in this area.
One of them was KINDEL
I have a soft spot for these pieces made here and I like to preserve as much as the history as I can.
On this piece the drawers were in EXCELLENT condition...
but the base was missing veneer and scratched. I felt that the drawers and the beautiful original hardware were LOST in all that. I wanted to make them POP...yet..still keep the original feel to the piece.
The finished Antique Kindel dresser all madeover.
You can see here that the base the the dresser had some veneer missing and was very scratched...but the drawers were in perfect condition.
I wanted a color that would compliment the red of the stain in the drawers along with the brass hardware. To see the full transformation come on over to the blog.
