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.

Bayberry Green Jumbo Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

 

This is the tallest salt and pepper set I have seen. They are jumbo at 16" high. A customer wanted them updated in a rich green color and chose Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry.


As always the first step was to scrub them well. There is always something on wood surfaces after years of use that will affect the paint adherence.


Size is deceptive so I put the paint tub beside them. Tall right?


Three coats of Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry were carefully brushed on for a smooth seamless finish. The customer did not want an aged look but rather a modern solid look. To add a bit of shine over the matte paint I hand rubbed in Homestead House clear wax


It added the perfect shine to this gorgeous green solid wood set.


They are so tall they dwarf the antique drum table.
