Walnut MCM Dresser with Warm White Accents

  I am a huge wood grain fan and when I find MCM pieces which usually are walnut wood I am thrilled to give them an update. This 6 drawer dresser did not disappoint. The warm white and wood combo is always a favorite of mine. How about you?

The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest™ for May ~ Bling Bling

*Disclosure
I have received product in exchange for this post, but ALL the opinions are entirely MY own.  This post contains sponsored links for Country Chic Paint



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!!
