Favorite Combo Custom Painted Antique Dresser

  A valued customer entrusted me with restoring an antique dresser she found online. It was in much rougher shape than advertised when she picked it up, but I believe I transformed it to match her vision. With its classic warm white finish and a darker stained top, it now has the timeless charm she envisioned.

Limited edition Ocean Breeze


Funny how some plain boring wood chairs can look fabulous with a bit of paint, take this plain boring well used but solid wood dining chair,


and after scrubbing the chair well, give it a coat of this easy to apply all in one paint.

when dry, distress simply with a sanding sponge on areas where wear normally occurs like the seat edges and spindles

 and to add to the aged look, I hand painted with a wee brush white liming details in the crevices



and then to give a bit more durability and shine I put a coat of clear wax over the whole chair and wahlaa, here it is..

wood should NOT be boring, grab a brush and some paint and make it pretty!!
