French provincial painted dresser. Painted French provincial furniture in two-tone gray for a soft and feminine painted finish.

French provincial furniture always looks prettier when painted. I just love the curves of a french provincial painted dresser.  It’s so feminine! So when I came across this provincial set to say I was excited is an understatement!  In its original condition, it’s large, dark, and seen better days, but the detail is amazing. french provincial, vintage, painted furniture, just the woods, staten island, nyc

French Provincial Painted Dresser Set in Gray Two Tone

The french provincial nightstand actually had some wear and tear on the top, so when in doubt sand it out!

Taking the few extra steps makes a world of difference.  Once sanded the rough top is now super smooth. electric sander, dewalt, orbital, sand vintage furniture

Like every piece I work on, the entire set was then hand sanded and thoroughly cleaned. I produced so much dust that I ended up breaking out the vacuum and sucking up all the dust before wiping everything down.  The hose attachments work great for vacuuming any old dust inside the body of the dresser!

The Result – Painted French Provincial Dresser Set

My customer for this french provincial set currently has a rather dark bedroom. She wants to lighten it up and chose these vintage french provincial dressers to be painted very light gray. We tossed around a few ideas and decided on a soft and subtle two-tone light gray. She also chose not to distress any of the edges leaving clean smooth curves and edges. French Provincial Painted Dresser, painted french provincial furniture

The frames or bodies of these painted french provincial dressers are a light gray – like the color of clouds before a storm and the drawers are an icy gray, almost white but not quite. So delicate and simple and very romantic!painted dressers, french provincial furniture, french provincial dressers, painted french provincial furniture

The original hardware was cleaned and refreshed to a metallic black pearl.  I also noticed that the drawers, which glide on old wooden tracks do stick just a bit.  I’ve heard of so many different things for sticking drawers, from soap to beeswax, to oil, etc. But so far I’ve found an all-natural beeswax polish to be amazing, and it smells nice too. A little rub and drawers glide like a dream! I discuss more about sticking drawers here: Painting Furniture Sticking Drawerstwo toned painted furniture, french provincial painted dresser

    I love the subtle, but different shades. Thank you for the inspiration. I have furniture pieces very similar to these in my garage queue for painting and may have to try this subtle 2 toned look.

    What finish was on top of the furniture when you got it, and before you started your project?

    Wow, it’s two years since you published this, I hope you see my comment. You did the most amazing job on refinishing these pieces. The french provincial furniture pictured here would have fit right in with the old bedroom set my parents had! The set is now broken up among my siblings. I would LOVE to find more of these pieces. I’m finishing a highboy just like this set now (five drawers). If you know of any good sources for this exact style of furniture I’m all ears! Keep up the beautiful work. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hey there Girly,
    It’s your friend from the great state of Georgia! Will you share the names of the colors that you used? I have several pieces that I’d like to paint but haven’t been able to decide what color. So frustrating when I can’t make a decision about it. Color is just hard for me to pick out because it affects my mood in a big way. My mother told me that my kitchen color was “TACKY”. Horrors! I thought it was a nice, happy green…. lol. I love these and you’re right, they are a soothing, soft place to rest your eyes. Beautiful job once again!
