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.

Pine Shelf goes Farmhouse


I am a big farmhouse style fan and when I saw this solid pine country shelf I knew it could be farmhouse styled.


I chose Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in marzipan, a soft creamy color, to paint it with my angled sash Zibra brushI used this same color on this sweet accent table and a set of glass canisters. I applied 2 coats of marzipan for a great light cream color update.


Then the edges were lightly distressed then sealed with a clear wax then I added more dimension with Fusion Mineral Paint ageing and espresso waxes. Layering these waxes  gives an authentic aged look. 


 The shiny satin silver knobs were changed out for a more cohesive farmhouse look to an oil rubbed bronze knob with fun detailing.



I <3 the updated farmhouse look the creamy milk paint color and new hardware add to this shelf.
I may add small hooks to the lower portion for even more storage options.
