After all of the back to school crazies have settled I am eager to get some projects old & new finished!!!
Over the past 7 weeks or so since I last posted gasp I found an old chippy door for the foyer & my mom found me a ladderback style chair at a sale for 25 cents!!!
This isn't the best photo & I need to give that chair some serious color...Just not sure what color yet, but it shows that I am at least making some progress...
(Excuse the touch up spots on the wall...I have a photo to get hung there)
Notice that Ah-Mazing table!?!?! Well, that was my Craigslist find & the best part...It looked exactly like this!!! I think this is one of the first finds I haven't had to do a thing to! Well, this & the chippy door too! =)
After a few more changes...
Lastly, but not least. I have a before & after to share...
Not too bad for a $25.00 garage sale dresser...Huh?!?
Next posting in less than 7 weeks...I pinkie swear!
=)
I'm loving the turnout of the dresser! Great job! & I love the black hardware
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy. Your entry hall is constantly changing! I liked the gray dresser there before but the white shabby chic table does the trick along with the door. The the 25 dollar dresser turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
I love the way the color turned out on the drawer faces. Can you share how you did that?
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!!! I even made a few more changes to the foyer & I need to share those photos too! =)
ReplyDeleteDana...I used the same paint from my dining set & buffet (Sherwin Williams pain, in Gliddens Shaded Ice color)on the drawer fronts. I mixed two parts Sherwin Williams glaze to one part paint. I lightly sanded the drawer fronts, then painted on the glaze & wiped it off until I had the look I wanted. Hope that helps!
did you have to strip the whole dresser first?
DeleteThanks for sharing! My husband and I have started learning furniture painting over the last year by trial and lots of error! I love the look of your dresser.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
