Antique 2 Drawer Chest

This was a custom order for Mallory.
Here's the before:

A few months ago, Mallory was my 1st customer for a custom order that wasn't a family member or close friend of mine. 
This week, she was my 1st RETURNING customer :)
You can see the 1st piece I painted for HERE
 

A few weeks ago we got bid off of this piece but then the nice gentleman stopped us outside and explained that he only wanted the mirror that they auctioned off with it (the mirror didn't belong with this piece, they just auctioned them off together and he happened to have a dresser to match the mirror). So, he asked if we'd be interested in buying it from him and of course I said yes!

  
If you'd like to know what the name of that grey is, 
I call it "Audra's grey mixey mix"
It consist of a lot of black, and a little white, a little more white, a little more white, a little more white..., perfect.

 Oil rubbed bronze on the hardware, of course.



Thanks for reading!
=) Audra

  10. I have a the same dresser I am stripping to the natural wood. Was your's maple. I think that's what it is, but I'm horrible at identifying wood.

  11. I have The Same chest in natural wood I believe its oak if anyone can tell me what it might be worth. Lets say it in good condition, not great and not bad either.
