I could not WAIT to get my hands on this dresser! The hardware is just amazing and so unique and I love the curves of the drawers. The clients and I decided that a light grey color with a stained top would enhance this already beautiful dresser. As you can see in the before picture, the hardware was just blending in with the wood too much. These amazing pulls need to be on display, the focal point of this dresser. I restrained the top of the dresser in a walnut brown and did a little distressing around the edges of the top to play off the light distressing on the body of the dresser. I have to say this is one of my favorite pieces and I wish it were mine! She's a beauty! Flannel Grey by Behr and a Walnut stain by Minwax did the trick.

Hi Kathy! You must make it here around the holidays, the Del Hotel is certainly spectacular in December, a must see. I live 4 blocks from it and definitely do not take it for granted :)
