Once again I found a great dresser at my local Flea Market--Love that place! This dresser needed some work, but had beautiful bones and I fell in love with the curvy drawers.
 |
| I took the 2 drawers out before I took a before picture! Missing 2 handles 
Chipping veneer
Gross top
Painted sides
The first thing I did was fill in the missing veneer on the top. I was going to strip the entire top and sand it down, but I did not have the energy or good weather so filler did the job.
I painted the dresser with white chalk paint and then painted it with a custom beachy blue color. I wanted to see the white under the blues when distressing so that is why I painted with two colors. My next step was to wet distress with a sanding block/sponge. I love it when both the wood and the under color shows. Waxing was the last step.

I love when both the wood and under color show
Gorgeous beveled mirror
My favorite topiary
I swoon over the curvy drawer!
I really love how this turned out! I wish I had room in my house for it.

Nice job! That is a wonderful color of blue...though I'm partial to blues. :) You definitely had your work cut out for you with that veneer.

Wow! I really love that blue color. It does look beachy to me! I hate working with that cracked veneer- about the only thing you can do is either peel it all off and sand it down or fill it in with wood filler. xo Diana
