I have wanted a 1920's dressing table for a very long time. I got a really good deal on this one and have had it in storage for five years or so. Unfortunately, the mahogany veneer had been painted white. I know the whole shabby chic thing had been going on, and I do like that look; however, it just doesn't seem practical to me with three kids and two cats. Additionally, the surface of the dresser felt like there was sand in the paint.
To make a long story short, I wanted to bring the dressing table in from the garage. It needed painting,(there is no other choice once the veneer has been painted). I thought that black would be more modern. So began the transformation...

It was an incredible transformation. I think it is so much closer to the look it would have originally had, plus the black seems to hide so many of the imperfections. I finally have the old dressing table I've wanted for so long-for $55 and a can of paint. What a deal!
Thank you Charlie for making it beautiful!
