Waterfall Dresser in Louis Blue

It is finally finished! I bought this waterfall dresser over a month ago. I found it in a really sad shape, cosmetically. But I knew it had potential. When I brought it home my husband who was helping me get it out of my car said (uhhh, WHAT is this?) He thought it was way too much work. I had a friend look at it and said it couldn't be helped, she just couldn't see it. Well after hours and hours later it finally looks like this.

I exchanged the knobs that looked like tail lights for these pretty clear knobs.

I painted the detail on the mirror white to make it stand out. There is also the same detail on the top of cabinet.

You might be able to see a little bit of the silvering that has come off the mirror. I could have resilvered the mirror but there's no way I would ever do that. I love the look of old silvering coming off of an antique mirror. It is one more thing that distinguishes it from a regular factory piece of furniture. Some people try to replicate the antique look with new mirrors. There was a stamp on the back of the mirror that read Bassett and another that had the date July 17th, 1948. I love it when I can find the maker and the date. 

Here is a side by side of the dresser and Cabinet both done in Louis Blue ASCP. They would look so good together in a bedroom! 

I am working on a dining table with chairs now. They are so pretty. Can't wait to show them to you!
