As promised, today I’m sharing my top five mid mod masterpieces.

OK, maybe masterpiece is a bit of an exaggeration!  And maybe mid mod is too, now that I think about it.  I’m not precisely sure what decades all five of these pieces date back to, but somewhere in the middle of the last century I think.

Let’s take a look and then you can tell me what you think.

No. 5 is the Millennial Pink dresser from May 2018.

Do you remember the Millennial Pink phase?  It seemed like everyone was talking about this color at the time.  Although in this case, I used Fusion’s English Rose, which I renamed Millennial Pink.

It was the perfect shade of pink for this mid mod dresser.

I gave the drawer pulls a refresh using Prima Marketing Metallique wax in Vintage Gold.

I absolutely love that combo of pink and gold.

No. 4 is this pair of Scandinavian style end tables that I got from my neighbor nnK’s parents in July 2022.

They had a bit of damage on their tops, but the rest of the wood veneer was in good shape, so I opted to just paint the boxes around the drawers using Dixie Belle’s Anchor.

Then I simply spruced up the rest of the veneer with Dixie Belle’s Big Mama’s Butta.

No. 3 is this literal trash to treasure dresser from August 2019.

Mr. Q and I picked this up off the side of the road, and it was in fairly rough shape.  But after some repairs by Ken the handyman and a little of Dixie Belle’s Bunker Hill Blue I thought it looked quite nice.

This time around I used RustOleum Mirror Finish gold spray paint on the hardware.

No. 2 is the Permanized Duo from August 2018.

Honestly, these were nothing to look at in their ‘before’ state, am I right?

But just look how great they looked painted.

They were both painted in Fusion’s Ash, and inside the little book cubbies on the headboard I used Fusion’s Mustard.

Once again I spruced up the existing hardware, this time with Prima Marketing’s Art Alchemy Metallique wax in Bronze Age.

That was such a fun makeover.

There was a third piece to this set of furniture, and that brings me to my No. 1 mid mod masterpiece … which isn’t really just one piece of furniture but rather many pieces that I painted using the same color … Fusion’s Park Bench.

I used this color on the third piece from the permanized set …

and I also used it when I took another mid mod credenza from this …

to this …

and another from this …

to this …

and yet even another from this …

to this …

This color didn’t just work on the low credenza style of dresser, but also on taller ones like this one from May 2019 …

and this one from January 2018.

I couldn’t pick just one of these Park Bench green pieces to share as my No. 1 mid mod masterpiece, could I?

I have to give an honorable mention to one of the first mid mod furniture sets that I painted, the Vintage Moxie set.

I painted this one way back in 2014 when my blog was just a baby.

The minty color was from Sherwin Williams and was called Aloe, and I didn’t even keep track of what shade of white I used.  I was definitely a pretty combo though.

Now it’s your turn, which one of the pieces in this post are your favorite?  Leave a comment and let me know!
