As most of you know, I have a thing for painting dressers! I found this great one at a local thrift store and it had to be loaded up and brought home.
Before:
I helped the chippiness along by scraping it with my spackle knife. Miss Mustard Seed's White wax had also come in the package, so I decided to use it on this piece too. This wax is wonderful and so easy to use. I dipped my wax brush into the wax and then brushed it on the dresser and wiped it in/off with a cotton rag.
I love how the white wax gives the dresser a washed, muted look. It makes it look worn and soft sort of like driftwood.

DeleteReally lovely! I have to laugh though. I just put together a pile of stuff for a 'giveaway' that I'm posting on my blog on Thursday (a Thanksgiving giveaway) and I threw in a bag of Bergere. Now you're making me think I should be keeping that! But no, I'm still going to give it away along with some other fun stuff. Be sure to check it out while your turkey is cooking on Thursday ;-)

Was not Victoria's daughters room so dramatic, so reagal looking.

Thank you Dore-I do have a lot of my painted pieces around my house. My daughters rooms is more white then black, but there is no color in it and it sort of a modern, vintage look. My daughter loves books and doesn't like this ornate so this room has books shelves for lots of books. My daughter will be 13 soon and so she is figuring out what her current style is.
DeleteI love your work but as I was looking at the closeup of the bottom...legs and castors it dawned on me "HEY my BOYS used to chip stuff up JUST like that with their matchbox cars! " :) :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb-My bothers and I use to play with matchbox cars a lot too and I bet we hit a few pieces of furniture legs too!
