I love what I do and sometimes I'm able to help out a friend in the process. This dresser was on someone else's project list but things happened and it got added to mine. Let me share how I painted her in two different Annie Sloan colors.

SPRING FLING DRESSER
This dresser was named the Spring Fling because of the soft colors used to finish it and it was spring time when I was painting it. It was originally a road side find.
REBUIDING ANTIQUE DRESSERS - replacing drawers
Both of these dressers where curb side finds. They were from different homes during a community clean up week and understandably destine for the dump.
YELLOW DRESSER & WHITE HARDWARE - let the sun shine in
This was an amazing solid wood vintage dresser with turned legs and lots of storage
with four large drawers and two small ones on top.
AND THE OSCAR GOES TO - paisley highboy
Trying to make this one write like an epic story,
as you scroll down the page seeing each photo
I want it to feel as if you've just turned the page of
a mystery novel or the next movie scene.
This would be the front cover of our book,
designed specifically to entice you.
Chapter 1
We first see a glimpse of the past
and feel sympathy and concern.
Chapter 2
Then curiosity starts when we see
a bit of magic in this tale.
Chapter 3
A good story has many ups and downs.
Chapter 4
Dark clouds of days gone by now weave their way in.
Chapter 5
But every good epic has a hero, a warrior,
or just a supporting actress to steal the shiny Oscar.
Chapter 6
The long hard battle begins ....
Chapter 7
Every arsenal used .....
Chapter 8
Defending against evil ....
Chapter 9
with a trusty shield of armour .....
Chapter 9
The hero triumphs
The Finale
Everyone lives happily ever after

BLACK DRESSER with A SHINE
It was bad ....
Don't you just feel itchy when you look at it.
Peeling veneer, sticky stuff, and mismatched hardware.
The drawers originally had a pattern on in the veneer,
I didn't want to loose this when painting it so I taped off the areas
then alterenated where I applied a glossy clearcoat.
A set of silver finished hardware was added.
I protected the beautiful wood surface with 4 layers of clearcoat.
