Cee and Dan have joined forces this week for a Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Doors and Drawers and Thursday Doors combination, so here is my contribution in the shape of our vintage up-cycled Ercol oak dresser with its two drawers and two cupboard doors.
Incidentally, our dresser has a really simple catch to open/ close the doors – the little elongated knob in the middle moves side to side just a small amount (inset within its own little groove), just enough to allow each door to open (one at a time), and when in its central position it holds both doors neatly closed – no metalwork or magnets or anything more than a beautifully carved wooden catch, proudly visible for everyone to see.
See images below for details 🙂


I’m so happy you played in both challenges. Wonderful photos Ruth 😀

Welcome to Thursday Doors, Ruth. I love that dresser. Thanks so much for including the detail photos of the catch. That’s pretty ingenious. The dresser itself is lovely.
