At the local Flea Market I spotted this great old dresser and had to have it. The drawers were a little wonky, but I knew it could be stunning so I bought it and brought it home.
Before:
I sanded the top and rubbed it with AS dark wax.
I mixed up some Niagara Green milk Paint from Homestead and started to paint away.
Love the hardware!

I adore how that sweet dresser came out! Love the floral painting on top too. I found you through Brenda's blog today (Welcome Wagon). You have great style. Thanks for sharing. Now, I'm off to check out some more of your posts!
ReplyDeleteMmmm mmmm mmmm.... so pretty! And that hardware is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteshe turned out gorgeous, darrielle! i recently noticed that particular shade of green on the homestead site when i was searching for milk paint colors for a little dresser i just re-did. so much better when one can see it on a larger piece instead of a little square sample. and with the darker word showing up in the chippiness - delicious!!! i actually ended up selecting mms "dried lavender" and am really happy with the color. detailed it out with her white wax. have you used either? i have to say, i'm kinda hooked and already searching for my next piece to transform. probably a table that i have. anyways, found you on the niftythriftythings link party. cheers!
