White French Provincial Dresser


Surprise Surprise-another dresser!  Ha Ha Ha.
I found this great French Provincial Dresser at the Flea market and of course it had to come home with me.
Before:


It looks better in this picture then in real life!
I really like to paint pieces with color but this dresser felt like it should be white to me, so I mixed up some white home-made chalk paint and got to painting. I finished it off with hemp oil/clear wax and it was gone in a few hours!



My hubby LOVES the scratches I have made in the floor moving furniture! Ha Ha
