I had a pair of these smaller dressers. They had a hard
glossy white finish that was in pretty good shape that I was going to work with. The drawers however had gold detailing around the edge that I was going to change.
I added small cabriolet legs to each dresser before I started to
paint the drawers in a custom grey, mixed from Annie Sloan
paints. I left them to dry over night.
***********************************************************
To get the grey weathered board look on the drawers took 2
easy steps. I removed half of the grey paint by using a moist
scrubby sponge and washed each face length wise. I let them
dry again before waxing the the drawer fronts with Annie
Sloan clear wax. Once the wax was dried and buffed I
scrubby length wise again to remove some more of the grey
paint. Each step removes the paint in a slightly different way
and creates a unique weathered board look.
I uses 12 French provincial handles sprayed in a
bright white oil base paint.
I love how the strong grey stands next to the bright white.
