Bombay Keepsake Box in Shades of Grey

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.

This solidly built chest is made by Bombay and was originally a tea chest that sold for $129!!

It had a few dings that were lightly sanded then all surfaces were cleaned well

I just love the size and density of this wee Fusion brush

I used it to apply Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb over the entire outside surface including the hardware careful to leave the inner edges clean and original.

A wash of Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black was applied and the entire piece distressed to reveal more of the original finish thru the layers of paint.

To deepen and enrich the colors further, Fusion's black furniture wax was hand rubbed all over.

This beautiful chest is perfect to set on your coffee table with mementos like concert tickets, or healing stones or in your boudoir to catch all your sparkly jewels, or masculine enough for your man to display his watch collection.
