You can't see it easily but there was a "fan" type pattern on the doors and a couple drawers. Because my customer trusted me and said "do whatever you think it best", I filler them in.
It can be a little tricky and because this set is getting a modern, seamless look, it was extra important to perfect this part. It took a few layers of filler but was well worth extra time and work.
I also had a lot of holes to fill. I always use cut dowels first, putting some wood glue in the hole and insert a dowel, making it JUST slightly lower than the surface then add the filler after the glue dries. I also like the dowel very tight and have been know to actually drill the whole a tiny bit larger if needed, to get a size to fit tightly and gently push it in with a hammer.
The color is a BM color called "Cotton Balls" and a wonderful soft shade of white.
I love the update the glass hardware gives to the set.
So cool to see how you did all of it Julie! I love it! My husband finally hung the mirror last night so I am going to send you another "after in home" picture of the other dresser. I only need to put up my wall words above the headboard and I am done......for now :)
