An Antique Wood Dresser

As we PS-ed in last week’s rug post, our hunt for a new master bedroom dresser recently came to a surprise end. We’d been trying to find something to replace this old Malm dresser that we’ve had for 5+ years (we literally bought it on an Ikea stop the day we moved from NYC to Richmond in a big red minivan) which will soon go live in the guest room.

Dresser Old Full Shot

It’s clearly too small for the wall. It’s not 100% functional anymore (the middle drawer got little wonky during the move) and it has a few visible battle scars from bouncing around our last house (at various points it lived in our bedroom, our guest bedroom, and finally the sunroom).

Dresser Old Scratch

So we wanted something bigger. And something a little curvy and ornate (for some contrast to the modern elements in the room, like Ed the Bed and our big snowball-ish light fixture). Because we don’t want our bedroom to feel like a modern furniture showroom, we want it to have that layered, collected over time look. We both liked the idea of a dresser that was up on turned legs, especially since our bed also has a leggy design, so that similarity might tie the old dresser and the modern bed together in a not too obvious way. You know for a nice marriage of old meets new. And of course we wanted something that we could rescue (who doesn’t love “saving” sad old furniture) but we’d been unsuccessfully perusing thrift stores and stalking craigslist for weeks with nada. And then it happened. A dresser miracle. The perfect piece materialized seemingly out of nowhere. And by nowhere I mean my parents’ bedroom.

My mom and dad are actually prepping to downsize to a smaller house (now that their nest is empty) so they’ve been trying to find new homes for lots of their old stuff (I’ve already inherited stacks of old photos, school papers, childhood art projects, etc). So when we spotted my dad’s dresser on a recent visit we asked if they were planning to keep it (since it was old, leggy, and pretty much the perfect width). The answer: “Nope, we’re planning to put it on craigslist. Unless you want to take the old clunker off of our hands?”

“Uh, yes please.” Cue the cartwheels by Sherry in the background.

Turns out they’d be in our neighborhood to babysit our nephew two days later so they brought it down (we assumed it might take a few weeks to mosey over). Best dresser surprise ever. And that’s how we ended up with this beauty pretty much out of nowhere:

Dresser New Angle Shot

It’s bigger than our old Ikea dresser, so it fills up that wall properly. It’s also more traditional looking, so it balances out the modern pieces like Ed the Bed and the light fixture (just as we hoped). It also makes us really excited to get some old night tables in a similar tone and shape to further tie our whole old meets new thing together. Possibly with the same cool ring-pulls (we could also order those online and add them later) and a few drawers for concealed bedside storage, which we’ve always wanted.

Dresser New Close Leg

And just as we hoped, it could use a little love (one of the drawers was busted when we got it, so I whipped out my screwdriver and whistled while I worked to get it secure again). Took about ten minutes. But (spoiler alert) that’s pretty much the extent of our “work” on the dresser for now. We’re not planning to paint or stain it. Even though we were excited at the idea of re-staining or painting an old seen-better-days piece, we just can’t justify that whole dog and pony show this time around. And this isn’t the polite way of saying that my parents wouldn’t let us touch it (in fact, they were dying to see what we’d do). We actually think the warm wood color works really well with the cool tones on the walls and in the bedding (while bringing out the honey tones in the curtains, the jute rug, and the gold leaves in the duvet). Plus as you can see from this shot…

Dresser New Angle Shot

… the rustic wide plank floors in the bedroom need more than just a little work (they’re discolored, stained, and splintering in a number of places). So we plan to refinish them in a darker mocha tone, along with the rest of the hardwoods in the house for a nice cohesive effect. So that should make the warm wood dresser feel even more special once it doesn’t blend into the floor quite as much. Especially if we have two antique-looking nightstand friends going on the other side of the room in the same warm wood tone (maybe we’ll get to refinish some old dark craigslist/thrift store finds with some lighter stain to get a not-perfect-but-good-enough “match”).

We’re totally charmed by our hand-me-down dresser’s imperfections, and love how they preserve the history of the piece. Maybe we’re being overly nostalgic since this is our first item of inherited “antique” furniture, but there’s something special about knowing the back story. My dad bought it from his cousin back in the ’60s for $100 and has used it ever since. It still boasts a scratch on the front of one of the drawers from when he transported it in his car’s trunk over forty years ago.

We don’t know exactly how old the piece is, but it has a stamp in the back of one of the drawers that says it was made by the “Abernathy Furniture Co” and they appear to have started operations in the 1850’s in Kansas (thanks Google).

Dresser Abernathy

After a couple days of using it I realized it possesses some weird auditory memories for me. When I heard Sherry opening and closing the drawers from the other room, the sound of the metal pulls clanging against the wood gave me distinct flashbacks to hearing the same noise coming from down the hall growing up. Weird how sounds can do that to you, right?

Dresser Pull Close Up

The only other “work” it really needed (besides a few screws to secure that broken drawer rail) was some help getting the drawers to slide more easily (each one of them stuck and dragged a little bit). Sherry had heard the old “rub soap on them” tip a few times, so she broke out a bar of Dove that we had leftover from her mom and stepdad’s visit (we use Dr. Bronner’s soap, but she worried “eco soap” might not be the same).

Dresser Dove Soap

Off she went rubbing the dry bar of soap on each of the rails. Both on the bottom of the drawers…

Dresser Rubbing Dove Rail

…and even on the tracks inside the dresser itself, in an attempt to “wax” them so they’d slide more easily without catching.

Dresser Rubbing Dove Track

The verdict on this little trick? It made a noticeable difference, but it didn’t solve things 100%.

Dresser Bad Floor

For being a totally free solution, we’re happy we gave it a try. But if you guys have any other suggestions for helping this baby slide a bit better, please share ’em. We’re thinking we might try wax or something.

Dresser Top

As for what’s on the dresser, the big white lacquered box is a charging station that we got at Pottery Barn Outlet a while back (as seen in this road trip video), the ceramic egg crate is full of Sherry’s jewelry, the table fan is for the summer, the two white bowls are full of Sherry’s bracelets/necklaces/glasses, and the three frames are pics that Sherry and I snapped on each of our wedding anniversaries. And yes, there’s a ceramic animal friend worked in there too thanks to my weird wife (a bronze ceramic pig that she found at HomeGoods for $6 a few weeks ago). I actually think the dark bronze twist is kind of cool, but don’t tell her I said that or it’ll feed her strange addiction.

Now for the bigger picture. Here are some more bedroom photos, just so you can see how the new dresser plays with the other things in the room (which is most definitely still “in progress” and in need of some art, a nice long bench, a big white built-in or cabinet to the left of the bed to balance the door, those aforementioned leggy honey-colored night stands, and maybe even some new table lamps among other things).

Dresser Whole Sink Wall

Finials Chair Corner

Should be a good time (or not, depending on what we find and how many places we have to go- haha, there’s the husband perspective on shopping). In the end, as exciting as resolving our dresser dilemma is – one of the best parts is that we’re finally able to move some of our clothes out of piles in the closet and into proper storage (four full drawers of it). Which means after 3+ months of living here with mountains of shirts and pajamas on the floor of the closet thanks to a smaller dresser with one inoperable drawer, we officially have no more excuses for not organizing things. Uh oh.

So that’s our first antique hand-me-down adventure. Or “furniture inheritance experience” if you’re fancy. And I’m not gonna lie. It does feel kind of fancy. The idea that we own something older than my dad is, in the words of Miley Cyrus, “pretty cool” (anyone else watching SNL lately?). Even if it’s a little beat up and didn’t come from an auction house. Have you guys ever gotten something especially awesome or particularly sentimental handed down from a family member? Anyone run into the moral dilemma of whether or not to make changes to it? We got lucky in this instance (since my mom and dad were more eager to refinish it than we were) but we know that might not always be the case. Sticky.

    I think it’s great that you guys aren’t going to paint. (at least not yet) I’ve recently backed off a bit when it comes to painting everything. I’ve been slowly learning to enjoy a nice wood toned piece here and there. :)

    Beautiful! What a great find. We have a large pine chest/trunk that was part of the boyfriend’s childhood bedroom set. It made its way from New Jersey to Berlin when John moved there as a teenager, and was painted black by his German antiques dealer stepmom. And now it’s with us in Honolulu! It’s a little beat up from years of crossing the Atlantic and the Pacific, but we love its distressed look…in fact, it played a huge role in the inspiration for our whole house. It’s the one thing that stayed with him through all the moves, and we love the story it tells. :)

    Stearin (candle wax?) which you rub on it and then use a cloth or something to smooooth it out. Make a shiny, slippery surface. That should do it.

    I noticed that you brought the yellow-green pillows back to dress Ed instead of Karl. Did you find new blue/teal pillows to match Sue for Karl? I like those pillows better on your bed, since it really brings out the pattern in the duvet and picks up the color in the curtains. I love how this room’s turning out!

    Any plans to replace the handles on the dresser–maybe with some oil-rubbed bronze ones to coordinate with the curtain rods?

    I have my Grandma’s bedroom set from when she was a little girl! It’s from the 1920’s, solid wood and was painted pink for her. When she married my Grandpa it became their bedroom set and was painted white. At the moment it’s in my 8 year old’s bedroom. I plan to sand it down and refinish….someday. lol She was going to sell them at a garage sale and I almost choked! I love my child having something that his great grandma kept her things in. :)

    I love it! I wasn’t so sure about the honey color wood until I saw the whole room shot – it looks great!

    I just rescued a short, square side table from my parents house that my grandfather made. It had been sitting on their front porch and I knew it would be the perfect coffee table in front of my huge sectional. The top is made from black walnut but it has seen better days – I might refinish it or paint the legs and refinish the top (since the legs are scrap lumber).

    My grandfather who I was extremely close to passed last year and I asked for his dining room buffet. It was a piece that our family gatherings had centered around for my entire life. I’m abnormally attached to the piece and take so much pride in it. I couldn’t bear to paint it, but we did add handles to make it look more modern.

    My aunt also suggested we take a table that was in my mom’s room and covered in cluttered. Hubs and I took one look at it and were also smittened by it. Both pieces fill me with so much happiness.

    Love that beautiful dresser! Another option for those sticking drawers is a product called SLIDEEZ. Works wonders on wood on wood glides. If they are still persistent, some light sanding down of the glide followed by waxing should also do the trick!

    I have an antique white cabinet that I got from my parents when I moved into my first apartment (I’m now on my third, and hoping to buy my first house in the next couple of years! SO EXCITED!). This piece was originally owned by my maternal grandparents – it came with the first house they ever bought (back in the early ’40s). We’re not sure how old it is exactly, but we guess at least 75 years, if not more, and I’ve had it for 5 of them. It still has the original glass, and pulls too (I think). It’s painted white at the moment, but I’m looking forward to a time when I have the space/funds to revamp it and freshen it up a little bit! I feel so honored to be the third generation to own this gorgeous, if outrageously heavy piece (it was a HUGE pain to move into my 2nd apartment – up 5 flights of stairs, no elevator!). You can see it in this picture here.

      That’s beautiful – and your oak dresser, too. Your iron bedframe looks similar to mine, though mine is currently black. Is it an antique piece, too?

    • anglophile.ash says

      I’m not sure about the bed – I got it from an estate sale several years ago, and it was the previous owner’s guest room bed. She was deceased at the time, so I don’t think we ever found out about it.
      And thanks for the compliment on the oak dresser! That is also an antique (or at least vintage), which my father spiffed up after we got it at another estate sale. My parents are big on nice, solid, quality pieces, a trait which I have picked up – I hate particle board things, but all my friends seem to love them. I’ll take solid construction and materials any day of the week, thankyouverymuch :)

    Back in art school we used to use the beeswax bars made for book binding to fix all kinds of random stuff and smooth it out. I would wager a guess that it would be a good longer-term solution since it is quite dense. It would take a bit of elbow grease to get it on there, but it should last longer and stand up to more friction than the soap. It’s this stuff made my lineco: http://bit.ly/hAdk5I

    Hope this helps! Keep up the good work!

    Hey John and Sherry!

    Thanks for posting all these awesome pictures, your room is really coming along and looks gorgeous just the way it is so far, it even kind of has a really cool rustic vibe going on with the mix of stark white and old hardwood floors. The shot of you bed with the 2 tables you are currently using to place your lamps on either side of your bed have given me a great idea as a solution for my own bedroom. We currently have plastic Sterilite drawer towers on either side of our bed that we use as night stands, and we haven’t been able to stomach the cost of buying new night stands, but we do have some tables like yours that fold away that we normally use for eating a meal on the couch and then store away we not in use. I hadn’t thought to try these out in our bedroom, so thank you so much for this picture, it is really a lifesaver as the plastic drawer towers are a big eyesore, and make me sad every time I look at them. I will post a link of a pic of the difference it has made here in the comments for you to see. Thank you so much again!

    I love the “auditory memory” too! My parents’ dressers also have handles that clank like that, and when you mentioned it I was reminded of when my dad would come home from work every day and change out of his suit. I wouldn’t say I usually associate memories with sounds like that, but I guess this particular sound is pretty distinctive.

    I have several family pieces – the sewing table that my dad made in HS shop class, my maternal grandmother’s sewing rocker, my mom’s twin bed frame from when she was a little girl. I also rescued two pieces when I was in college – a Craftsman Morris chair – not a Stickley, darn it LOL, and a castiron Victorian bed frame. They’ve been in every home I’ve had for thirty years now.

    My son has my parents dressers and my grandmother’s dining room set in his new house. We value old things in our family – and you can’t get the quality in the market today without paying for custom built pieces, and sometimes not even then – hand cut dovetail joints, for example.

    I love how it ties everything together so well. I’ve been told that a very little bit of olive oil or a candle (you can even use a scented one to make your cloths smell nice) works wonders for old squeaky draws. I’ve never tied it myself but definitely need to so if you give it a try I’d love to hear how it turns out.

    I would love to get your take on something. I inherited a dresser from my late nana that I love. It’s in pretty rough shape (the veneer is stained and wonky, the insides of the drawers need work, etc), but I love it. When I first took it home, I had visions of painting it a midnight-black lacquer in my mind. Now that I’ve had it for over a year, I might have changed my tune. Seeing your dresser in all its un-done glory might be the final nail in the should-I-paint-it coffin. Could I trouble you for your thoughts if you have a sec? (Also, please note that I sing the praises of your blog like a dorky freshman talking to an upperclassman. Please disregard. ha)

    Here’s a blog post that has the best pic of the dresser…and, it’s not even that good…

    Love the dresser. And I like that you aren’t going to do anything to it-it looks awesome as is, and some pieces are just meant to live in their original glory. I think thats especially true for special pieces that are passed down in the family.

    When my grandmother died last year I made sure to snag one piece out of the goodwill pile. A lovely three sided desk and matching chair that I remembered from growing up and visiting her house. It has that awesome dry paint brush finish in a nice green, and its possible that she did that finish herself as she was an artist (although noone in my family knows). Anyway its perfect as is and everyone who comes over and sees it nestled in the corner of my office exclaims over its charm. It’s extra special because it’s a piece of family history, a treasured memory from my childhood (a la John’s memory of the sound of closing drawers). It brings me great joy every time I see and use it and I hope your drawers will do the same!

    My Mom who has just downsized gave me two freestanding oak cabinets for kitchen storage and let out a “GASP!” when I suggested I might paint them to match my kitchen cabinets. Of course after seeing them in my home, she did say they were mine and I could do what I wanted with them…Hubs however, still cringes when I mention it, not antique, but real hardwood hand me down. Jackpot.

    Hello–a brand new reader here. I found you on the Washington Post’s Home Design chat last week, was fascinated and have spent the last few days catching up on your blog fast-forwarding through your wedding, summary of your first house and all of the developments on your new house. Love it! It’s so nice to see what choices other families make while DIYing their homes. One tip for your old Malm dresser and it’s scratches. You can get furniture touch-up markers in cherry that will cover up those scratches so they’re not as noticeable. Here is one sample: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=17396&source=googleps&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Google but I’ve gotten these at either Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Joanne Fabrics super stores (e.g. craft stores). You can probably get them at Hobby Lobby too. For $5, you can cover those scratches so they’re not noticeable.

    The dresser is fabulous, but now your bathroom vanity looks kind of wimpy. That will be fun to see how you tackle the bathroom someday. Also, it looks like your bedroom door doesn’t give you much space on the right side of your bed. I’ve seen some nice pocket doors that really free up wall space. But didn’t you remove one at your other house? I’m just thinking that you need large bedside tables to anchor the space, but the door is kind of limiting.

    • YoungHouseLove says

      Oh yeah we’ve got plans for that batroom vanity for sure! Someday. As for a pocket door, unfortunately there’s nowhere for the door to “go” since there’s a glass slider on one side of the doorway and nothing on the other side (just the living room, since it’s the corner of the bedroom). But we’re ok working with the door as-is. Once we get art and add a large white cabinet or some built-ins to the left side of the bed (where that bump out is) that should balance things out more.

    My grandmother refinished and gave me the antique(ish) dresser in this picture, second from the right (http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/amyangelagohr/Bedroom.jpg).

    I love the shape, but I’m so torn about what to do with it. I’m not one for wood tones at ALL, but I love the shape of this dresser, and I’d feel kiiiind guilty if I painted it if only because she spent quite a bit of money refinishing it (my aunt had painted it white with wall paint years ago). Our room is otherwise mostly black and…black. Black credenza with glass top, black jewellery armoire, black curtains… I’ve thought of painting it black or maybe staining it in an ebony finish.

    Thoughts?

    1. Definitely use a candle to wax the drawers and the rails.

    2. When my grandmother moved out of her house, I inherited HER mother’s rocking chair. I was about 14 at the time, and it was only my second “own” piece of furniture. My parents were having their couch re-upholstered around then, so they did the rocking chair too, in an English hunt print I chose (14=horse-crazy).

    I never met my great-grandmother but she’s something of a family legend; we wear her jewelry, cherish her furniture, and still quote her. (I even named my blog after her bread recipe, sorta.) The fabric is certainly not my favorite look anymore, but the chair carries such sweet memories just as it is that I doubt I’ll ever be able to bring myself to swap out that awful print!

    You guys always seem to have the tops of your dressers, etc. totally organized and clean! No matter how hard I try I always end up leaving pocket change, old ticket stubs, receipts, etc. on my dresser tops. Are you really an “everything in it’s place” kind of couple -or do you clean up before snapping pics?

      We’re kind of both. We just got the dresser so we haven’t had time to junk it up yet. Haha. We also like to have systems for stuff (like a bowl right near our side door for dropping keys and lose change and mail) which seems to help with “autopilot organizing”). Receipts go into a receipt box in our office if we need them (and get tossed if we don’t). Hope it helps!

    That’s a beautiful dresser. I appreciate that you are leaving it as is. I have been looking for those same ring pulls to replace some drawer knobs. Can you (or anyone else) tell me where I can find something like that? There are a lot of online knob stores with similar pulls, but I haven’t been able to find small ones (like about 1″ diameter). Thank you!
