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.

Stenciled Solid Oak Jewelry Box Or Remote Holder


Jewelry boxes make the perfect storage boxes for remotes, keys, memory tickets and so much more.


This solid oak jewelry box was missing its removable shelf but that will not stop it from having a functional future.


The lined open area is the perfect storage spot for so many things.


Step 1 - remove the hardware and clean well.


Now to paint! I chose House & Canvas paint in angora white for this and a super sweet dough bowl.


Both projects were painted two coats of this beautiful warm white color.


When dry, the edges were lightly sanded to distress back to reveal the original wood finish.


The top needed something to jazz it up. This quadrefoil stencil from Dixie Belle Paint was perfect paired with Fusion Mineral Paint  vintage gold metallic paint chosen to go with the hardware.


The Fusion Mineral Paint vintage gold paint was stenciled on with a small stencil brush.


It is perfect! A light sanding then everything was clear waxed with Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax  used to age and add dimension.
