Last year I posted this empire dresser on Craigslist. A sweet lady named Sara bought it and asked if I could paint another dresser she bought.
She wasn't sure if I could do anything with it because veneer was missing and the top was pretty rough.
Little did she know, I know my way around a piece of furniture with missing veneer. If you wanna see my past experience with removing veneer click here, here, and here. I need to update you guys on my technique to get it all off !!
Before I took this picture I started to remove the veneer on the middle drawer.

After
Looking at these pictures I realize I need to repaint my wall and scrape paint off the floor.
We kept the original hardware and didn't do anything to it. It was so pretty!
The color is Navajo White by Behr and the top was re-stained with dark walnut by Minwax. This color was the perfect cream. This is going on my "Favorite White's" list.
I lightly distressed the legs and around the edges of the drawers.
