Vintage Dresser Transformation

Painted distressed furniture brings interest to any room! Here you can see the before and after dresser painted in a Marsala red color. Don't be afraid to use painted furniture with other brown pieces you already have for a fantastic eclectic look. Look for real wood furniture instead of the "engineered wood" found nowadays in many retail furniture stores. Older furniture was made with outstanding craftsmanship and should be reserved for generations to come. Most of the reproduction pieces from the mid-century can easily be refinished and refreshed with a coat or two of paint. That way, it makes these pieces current to fit into more of a modern aesthetic.
