Antique Dresser in Mint Gray...


Client initially wanted my salmon pink french dresser
I had up a few months ago.  But was undecided on color.
This is a birthday present for her little girl!  
So she wanted a color that wasn't too overpowering
to match her curtains in the room.
Which had more pink in them.
Here is the before below.
She picked this from my inventory.
It needed work as you can see which is why it 
I didn't have it listed..
So it took us a few weeks to repair.


She decided on Ellie's Room by Magnolia!


Distressed edges.



Her daughter wanted some new knobs which look adorable!





Looks amazing!

Charcoal Gray Aged Dresser.....


I had this piece in my current as is unpainted
inventory for sale.  I pulled it and decided to custom 
paint it in my own color and design.  
Here is the before below. 


We filled in the top four knobs and added some extra 
holes on the bottom drawers.  Stripped it all down and filled 
in some veneer that had bubbled up.


I wanted to stain the drawers because of the beautiful 
wood  on drawers, but once stained it covered it all up.



So, I painted it using general finishes milk paint
in queenstown gray.  


Added some duncan phyfe handles.



Then aged it with some van dyke brown glaze.




Sealed the final coat in a satin finish.



Love the small removeable tray too!




I think it came out really nice :)
