Custom Chippy Coral Dresser



Recently I had a client who has bought several pieces of furniture from me ask if I would paint a dresser they had.  I said of course and she said she liked the dresser I had on my blog that was painted in Apron Strings by MMS:


Post: Chippy, Coral and Gorgeous


The dresser was dropped off and here is what it looked like:

I mixed up Apron Strings by Miss Mustard Seed and got busy painting.  After the paint dried I got my scraper out and draped off all the loose chips of paint.  I sealed the dresser with hemp oil/dark wax.  I love the quirky knobs and I think they add a great look to the dresser!
