Another dresser-as you know I love dressers so when I found this one at the Flea Market I bought it.
Before:
I started to take out the drawers before I remembered to take a photo! The dresser had this very ugly laminate top and I hated it so I got out my chisel and hammer and started to take it off. Lucky me-it came off in one piece!
I wanted the top natural wood so I sanded it down and just applied hemp oil. It is such pretty wood.
This dresser just looked like it should be yellow to me, so I got out Mustard Yellow milk paint by Miss Mustard Seed and started to paint away. After the paint had dried I scraped the chips off. The last step for me was to seal it with dark wax/hemp oil.

| I debated about taking the appliqué off, but just decided to leave it and see how it turned out. |
