Apologies for lack of a "before picture." This dresser set is solid wood and I picked it up for $125 which I thought was a good deal. I'm really into modern, but this will have to do for now. I did it in SW Anchors Aweigh and did some silver glazing on top. The hardware was a tacky bright gold finish, so decided on a matte silver. The drawers are in perfect condition so I was happy about that. Haven't decorated the tops yet, but might end up with mercury finish lamps and I need to paint in the bedroom yet.
