Why I didn't take pictures of DH fixing a couple of loose bits, adding the wheels, putting on the handles I don't know. Glue, clamps, nails, screws, cleaning up glue drips, you recognize the process.
Here it is, finished. I posted about it here and here and finally, finished.
I love the look. Its the first time I've tried two colours on one piece of furniture and I love the end result. There were two handles missing so the bottom drawer got handles that are a bit shinier, shaped a bit differently. This dresser arrive with wheels but the holes were there and the dresser was so happy to get its wheels again.

| Finished, beautiful, vintage |
 |
| a second and third wax and buff |
 |
| added more Paris Grey inside the slats and edges |
 |
| Isn't that wheel delicious - so worn, rust so smooth, love the paint (ASCP Versailles under Paris Grey, clear wax) |

| Before After (blue glow from TV) |
