Libo Blue by Pure and Original Paint Company





It's time for another furniture makeover for :
This month’s contest is being sponsored by Pure & Original paints and our theme is Pure Colors, Original Elegance.  Pure & Original is a luxury brand of paint imported from the Netherlands.  The paint is made from minerals, chalk, and water, is environmentally-friendly, and has little to no VOC.  It doesn’t need to be sealed for indoor or outdoor use. 

 CONTESTANTS WERE GIVEN FREE PRODUCT TO TRY IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR CONTEST ENTRY.  THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS FOR PURE & ORIGINAL PAINT.  IF A PURCHASE IS MADE THROUGH AN AFFILIATE LINK, I WILL RECEIVE A SMALL COMMISSION AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU.  ALL STATEMENTS AND OPINIONS ARE 100% MY OWN. 


I found a great old serpentine dresser on Craigslist: 
Before:
  It was in very rough shape-drawers sticking, dings, scratches and paint coming off.  


After a good cleaning and a quick sanding I was ready to paint. 

I ordered Libo Blue and Island White.  I decided to paint the dresser with Libo Blue.  After painting the dresser with one coat-I was in love with this paint!  I paint a lot of furniture and I have to say that this paint is now one of my favorites for  sure.  It goes on smooth, dries fast, and has excellent coverage! 


I was very impressed that paint naturally filled in and disguised most of  the rough issues this dresser had.  I definitely did not make it smooth before I started to paint. 


I added new ceramic knobs to the dresser from D. Lawless Hardware. 


I did add a quick coat of clear wax out of habit, but it wasn't necessary. 


I am SO loving this paint! 






I love wooden castors! 














I also painted this drop-leave table turned desk with this wonderful paint in Island White.
I will be  posting  about it shortly

    Wow what an impressive color! Gorgeous. I have been searching for vintage wavy front dresser for our French inspired guest room to redo.

    I swoon over serpentine, and what a fabulous blue hue and the knobs add such a nice focal touch.

    Very pretty! I love the vintage serpentine dressers. I'd like to try that paint. Thanks for the link; I'm going to look at it. Also, I really love the architectural salvage piece sitting on the dresser. I love it's chippy, rough look. Looking forward to the next project!

    You find the best dressers! I love the paint choice and have used those knobs on a piece myself. So fresh and cheerful and as always your styling is perfect with the accessories and fresh flowers.

    I think you're the second person I've seen this week who got to try this new paint. The other gal was really impressed with it too. I'll have to remember this since the prep part is the yucky party. :)

    Happy Thoughts of Home on Thursday. :)
