I was fortunate to win this dresser in an auction for a really great price. In the rush to get other items for our booth at the Hamilton Antique Mall, this beauty was put on the back burner. It was covered with a tarp on my front porch. I was finally able to work on this last weekend and did some final touch ups today. I sanded the whole piece down with 220 grit paper and painted it with my homemade chalk paint (I think it got 3 or 5 coats). I didn't give it an initial coat of BIN shellac primer because it wasn't a dark wood & I didn't think there would be any bleed-through.
I'll retake the photos because the only place I could take them right now was in a bedroom right beside a window and they are not good at all! I was just so excited to show you all that I had to post it anyway! #hamiltonantiquemall
I gave the chalk painted areas a little sanding to slightly distress it. I added a coat of white wax on top of that and some polyurethane on the wood to seal it all.
It is available to purchase. Please send a message if you are interested in it.
