Anything Blue Friday - Week 75
Here is an example of how I forget to take before pictures. I remembered while I was working on the drawers which is why they are missing. They were getting a sandpaper massage...
I wanted to share the before and after pictures of a couple of pieces I recently completed. I'm sorry, but I don't have before shots for all my work because sometimes I dive in and then realize I forgot to take a picture. Irritating. Below gives examples of some transformations I completed and have available if you would like to bring them home with you...

An antique dresser brings instant character to any room, and this one has fantastic detail to layer on the charm. Painted in a pale spring green chalk paint, it is finished in a dark wax and distressed to highlight its very unique and original gorgeous detail. The dark wax distinguishes the fine features of the dresser while also adding depth to the gentle color. Green, turquoise and brown ceramic knobs with antiqued bronze centers complement the paint detail and bring the drawer fronts to attention. This piece would be perfect as a dresser, but would also be a showpiece in any area of your home.
35 1/4" H x 50 1/2" W x 22 1/2" D Available Welcome autumn into your home with this gorgeous hefty knotty pine dresser. There are four roomy drawers to fill with your necessities. Painted in muted green and a warm red chalk paint to boast the unique shape and character of this piece, it is hand finished in dark wax to add to the rustic charm. The top is black chalk paint and finished in durable polyurethane. Serve your thanksgiving buffet or desserts from atop while storing dishes and linens below. This would also be a great bedroom or entry storage piece. Dangle a wreath above and a candle on the top for a cozy, warm and substantial piece in any area of your home. 36" H x 42" W x 20" D Available
This antique tall chest turned out perfectly shabby-dreamy and with a cozy cottage feel. The simple lines and structure of this piece struck me immediately because it is refined yet casual and homey. I knew milk paint would be a great complement to the simple charm it has, so I blended my own custom color using two of Old Fashioned Milk Paints base colors to create what I had in mind for it. I love it. The pale sea green body plays nicely off the harvest yellow stained top. This was a fun piece to do because I layered the milk paint over a coat of white. Where the milk paint did its magic of crackling and chipping I left it alone and then distressed other areas so that more whispers of white would show through along with the bare wood spots. My driveway slants, sorry for the tilt. A custom mix of sea green and buttermilk milk paint layered over a white base and then heavy distressing brings the cottage chic feel to this precious tall chest. Harvest gold stain over a white base top off this lovely antique piece. It sets on its original wooden casters. Clear wax protects and enriches the body while dark wax coats the white handles giving them authentic antique appeal. Polycrylic protects the top. This chest is quaint and casual but not at all understated. It will sit pretty and refresh any area of your home, providing not only great character and sea breezy charm, but great storage function as well. Think outside the drawer of clothes - how about linens, towels, soaps...? 47 1/4" H x 33" W at top x 17 3/4" D Available Before: Linking up with: 1HDcaa1 p3gI3C-5my http://www.milkpaint.com/ PAINTERS - If you are interested in participating in The Fab Furniture Flipping Contest, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] Before & After Wednesday - Week 34 furniture feature friday | favorites & link party |
