If you have been reading my blog then you know I have this thing for painting furniture and especially dressers, so here is another one.
I found this dresser at the local Flea Market and knew I wanted to paint it with Miss Mustard Seeds milk paint.
Before:
I decided the dresser looked like it should be a vintage green color so I pulled out some MMS Lucketts Green and mixed it up. It took a couple of coats and then started to do it CHIPPY magic. I also painted the knobs because I thought they fit with the dresser style. After the paint dried I scraped the dresser with my scraper and did a light sand to get the last chips off. The last step was to seal the dresser with hemp oil.
I love the variations in the color from the pigments! |
Love it!
