Another Dresser-what can I say-I love dressers!
I found this old dresser on CL and brought it home for a makeover.
Before:
Other then missing some knobs, having scratches, and needing the detail glued back on the middle of the top piece, this dresser was in good structural shape. I pulled out Eulalie's Sky milk paint by Miss Mustard Seed and got to painting. After painting 2 coats of the milk paint, the paint started to flake and chip and I helped it along with my sparkle knife.

| I adore this bottom detail and the chippiness! |
I wanted to keep this piece light and bright, so I just sealed it with clear wax and put on some new flower glass knobs.
I love the chippy goodness!
 |
| I love the color of this vintage rusty scale! |
 |
| Aren't the legs wonderful? |

Once again, a beautiful job! I looked for over three years here for a dresser and didn't find one
ReplyDeleteuntil I found that one at a garage sale on the way to see Andrew last year. I don't know how you find all these dressers! They are not as plentiful here.

ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy-It might sound crazy, but I let a piece tell me what color it should be!
DeleteSeeing the color of your scale makes me wonder if it was a similar scale that inspired the name for Miss Mustard's 'Kitchen Scale'. I love it. The dresser is gorgeous too. I think I need to break out the Eulalie's Sky again, you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda-I was wondering the same thing! I just painted a piece in Kitchen Scale and so love it!
DeleteThis might be my favorite piece yet! The color is so pretty and the legs...oh my goodness those legs. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa-the legs are so gorgeous!
DeleteLike a work of art! Seriously...love the chippy blue with glass knobs. Love the scale and the dried flowers. Sigh...
