Here is the before
I used some old hardware from another piece, and spray painted it oil rubbed bronze. Sanded and stained the top dark walnut. Distressed the edges and rubbed in a dark glaze.
So there you have it, my hard work for all to see. I hope you enjoy it!

It is beautiful!!!
I love it!! Dark walnut for stained tops is my absolute fave! Great job! I think it would be super as a TV console table.
I love when hardware that wasn't right for one piece works on another! You did a fantastic job, this piece is so beautiful!
WOW! I love that color. Nice job! It looks fantastic.
The new color is perfect! Love it!
Wow, such an improvement. I am very impressed!
It's beautiful! That is one big piece. You did a great job. Love the dark walnut top. I have a piece I'm working on now that is big like this and it's difficult to move around to work on it. Really nice job!
You are very talented. Just to be able to come up with a color like that and know it's going to look good on such a huge piece....that's an artistic eye! You did a great job! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Perfection!! I love it, you did an amazing job on it!!
Another beautiful piece!
This is just beautiful!! It turned out wonderfully...I love the stained top with the green bottom, and your finishing details are amazing!
Great job!
Wow! What a gorgeous piece! Wonderful job - I love it!
That is just beautiful! the color is so soft and tasteful. You are quite talented. Thanks for sharing!
Are you kidding me? That is so gorgeous! I would have totally passed that by. Until now! Amazing what a little paint will do.

Totally gorgeous! This would cost a bundle if you found it in a designer showroom.
Ah dang it! I was going to ask what paint color you used but it's a modge podge, it looks really really great. I'm doing the same thing with a dresser I got for $25. The top was laminate so I busted it off and am building a new one out of planks, and also plan to do the dark stain on top. Love it.
That looks terrific! I have been thinking of doing the same thing and I can't find a shade of green that I like but I love yours. What color is that?
Thanks!
Visiting from Remodelaholic ~ that dresser is absolutely beautiful!! Love the color, love everything about it.
Stopping by from Just a Girl - I love the top. Love it. Brilliant.

Thank you SO much everyone! Your encouragement and support is overwhelming!
Nice job! Your hardware is perfect, better choice than the original, and I mean before the original turned into a hot mess. Great color, I was just at Lowes this week collecting gray paint chips for some craigslist tables that are in sorry need of something. Wish me luck, Susanne.
I don't think I could be any more in love with this. It is fanTAStic! The paint choice was absolute perfection, and it looks fabulous in the room! What a great job! Thank you for sharing it with us!

What a gorgeous piece of furniture. I love the color you came up with, especially with that dark stained top. Beautiful!
It's beautiful! Great job!
What a lovely piece, with beautiful lines!
You certainly started with some great "bones" on that dresser. And it looks great now. I like the mix of the stained top with the rest of it painted. Just visiting your site for the first time (caught you on a link party today), and want to compliment you for lots of fine furniture re-dos.
This is beautiful! You did a great job- wonderful color choice too :)
