Coastal Blue Dresser


A friend was moving a few weeks ago and offered me two dressers, and you know me and dressers, so I of course took them both home.  The dressers had been Aunt Millie's and were very well made, but scratched and dinged. 

 Before: 
I mixed up a custom coastal blue color and made it in to chalk paint and got to painting.  

After two coats I lightly distressed the edges and then sealed the dresser with clear Carnuba wax.  










This was a quick and easy transformation!

    Love the color! For some reason, the lines and design have an oriental influence to me,

    You have the knack for making newly painted furniture looking perfectly worn.
    I just re-read that- did that make sense :)?

    I am inspired!
