Navy Blue Maple Dresser....

Painted this maple dresser from 1962 in a chalk painted

navy blue custom mix I did.  Here is the before below.

Sanded the top and refinished it in a dark walnut.

Painted the body in navy blue with slight

distress on edges. Painted hardware in oil rubbed bronze.

Sealed top and bottom in a matte water based sealer.

No brush strokes at all.

It came out so beautiful!

Currently available, message if interested.

Redesigned Dresser into a Aged Navy Look...

Well, since we had this mediterranean dresser for

a while I decided to paint it.  Although, while I was in the 

middle of added the feet a new client had contacted

me. She wanted the aged navy chest of drawers I had

did and was up for sale.  Then she wanted to know if I had

anything else in that color or similar color.  I didn't.

I told her I was in the middle of painting this one, 

I was currently adding some feet to it but, 

hadn't painted it yet.  

Here is the before below....

So, she asked if I could paint it in the navy look

like the chest she wanted.  I said yes of course!

She wanted the current hardware removed and 

replaced with the ones I added on the chest I had did 

that she was getting from me.

I sprayed it all in a custom navy I made with chalk paint.

Aged it with no distress.

Stripped the top before we painted it.

Repaired all the scratches and holes because that's

what she wanted on this one.

Painted the inside.

Sealed in all the holes from the previous hardware.

I added all the same hardware even to the middle

cabinet doors. It just looked so much better 

than knobs I was initially going to add.

Then, added the new hardware.

I love my finish!  It's a lot of work, but I don't mind.

She loved it!   I really love it!!!

Navy Blue Dresser...

My past client who is an interior designer, came to us

with this dresser.  She was designing a nursery for a client of hers.

She wanted the dresser stripped completely and us to

paint it a navy blue she had picked out that was 

a certain color she needed.

Then leave the top unpainted so she could stain it herself.

Here is the before it was a teal color....

we stripped it all down....

smoothed it all out....

I primed it and painted it the navy blue color she wanted....

Looks good, will wait and post pictures later 

of the finished room once she completes it.
