This is Elsa's dresser. Her mom suggested a bright color, but Elsa knew exactly what she wanted - a bright white shabby chic dresser.
Elsa's mom picked this one out of my garage stash. Her top priority was lots of storage.
She wasn't a fan of the brass pulls, but that was an easy fix.
This was another sunroom painting project.
I'm actually getting the hang of painting in the house this winter. I even have a system - start one or two new pieces each Monday, work on them during the week, then get them moved out of the sunroom by the weekend. It's working for me and winter can't last forever, right?
For Elsa's shabby chic look, I used Behr Premium Plus Ultra in Silky White, then mixed it up with the homemade chalk paint recipe.
The brass pulls were replaced with pretty clear glass scallop crackle knobs from Hobby Lobby - so feminine.
I distressed the edges and finished up with a coat of Fiddes & Sons clear wax.
Simple and sweet with a curvy little feet.
I think Elsa was right - bright white shabby chic was the perfect choice for this dresser! It also provides the storage that mom requested and it's a classic piece that will work for Elsa for a long time to come!
And where does completed furniture go when it leaves the sunroom?
It gets moved to the foyer of course!
What can I say, it's winter and we're playing musical furniture!
