This solid-wood dresser mixes two different styles that I enjoy: shabby-chic and depression-era styles. I chose to blend these styles together to make something different, but also to enhance the features of this interesting waterfall dresser. The outside was chalk-painted an ivory colour and lightly distressed so the whole dresser didn't feel too dark or heavy. Meanwhile, the dark-stained wood highlights the beautiful walnut veneer that was popular in the 30's and gives a nice contrast to the ivory elsewhere. Everything was waxed and sealed for protection. With new, elegant fixtures, and blue drawer interiors, this dresser can now be a fun, yet classy addition to any home.
