Little cottage style dressers are my very favorite pieces to paint.
This one came from an estate sale and did not require one single repair - woohoo! That almost never happens!
She was a little musty. So after a good sanding to knock down the shine, I scrubbed her with TSP and let her dry in the sun.
Then she got two coats of Behr Premium Plus (paint and primer in one) in a pretty blue called English Channel.
Then a light distressing and a coat of wipe on poly and she was done!
Don't you love the simplicity of the knobs? They were the first thing I noticed about her.
This just might be the easiest project I've worked on in quite some time.
And one of my favorites too!
A girl can never have too many cute little cottage style dressers in her life!

ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be up to something good! I think I could spot one of your darling painted dressers in a line-up. There's just something about them that say, Elizabeth & Co. I think it's the simple lines and wonderful colors you choose. This is so cute and versatile. I can picture it in so many rooms serving so many purposes, from a boy's bedroom to an entryway to a media stand to a dining room. Great job, as usual. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beauty! That color is perfect on it.
ReplyDeleteLovely, beautiful, pretty, charming, cute and blue, my favourite colour!
ReplyDeleteLove this piece for sure, i will have to keep my eyes open for a good find. Also I want to try something with the glaze and see how it goes. :-)
