The theme for May's The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest™ Contest is "Bling Bling" sponsored by Country Chic Paint! What might Country Chic carry that created this theme you ask? well their line of metallic cremes is the answer. They have 4 great colors, for my project I chose silver bullet and belt buckle.

My furniture piece was a 4 drawer dresser ~ 2 of which are sweetly curved. That and the original hardware made me think BLING.. and original finish was edged in gold ;)

Like all my pieces they get a good sanding, a super scrub down and all repairs made before painting.

I chose a simple crisp white as my base for the bling process giving it 3 coats for coverage. Then the fun began.. the original brass feet were cleaned with brass polish and softly sanded. They do not remove easily so I hand painted with a small artist brush to get in the small areas.

 the hardware got updated to a fresh coat of gold

 then I added a coat of belt buckle metallic paint for increased durability and a wee bit of dimension

 left is silver over the white and below is belt buckle, just a bit to dark I think so silver bullet it is

the legs and drawer fronts all received a coat of the metallic crème. I applied in long even sweeps with a soft lint free cloth , move fast as it dries quick but leaves a super smooth durable finish ;)

once the hardware was back on and the drawers set in I left to dry then hauled in to stage

 
this is such sweet original hardware now refreshed into a classic gold

the subtle silver shimmer and classic gold accents give this piece a perfect amount of Bling Bling!!
