I loved this coral and gold combination so much the first time I used it, I had to do it again!
You might remember this dresser that I painted a few weeks ago for Emily's nursery.
Emily picked this yummy shade called Coral Expression for her dresser. It had a laminate top, so I primed first, then used Behr Premium Plus Ultra and finished up with a few coats of Wipe On Poly. I kept it clean and modern with no distressing.
I knew this curvy vintage dresser would look great in the same color, but I took a slightly different approach.
This time around, I mixed up some homemade chalk paint.
I distressed the edges and finished up with a coat of Fiddes & Sons clear wax.
I loved the original hardware on this this piece and just gave it a glow with a little Rub 'n Buff in Antique Gold.
I always allow some of the original finish to show through for a more naturally aged look.
Pretty, right?
This was one of my winter sunroom painting projects.
So there you have it, coral with a touch of gold, again!

I love this combo! I did one dresser like it last summer and have been waiting to find another one to recreate it. So pretty!

Love those drawer pulls, so elegant! You nailed it on the color! I like that you use the inside of your home to paint. My hunny gets annoyed sometimes by my "crafting clutter." Glad I'm not the only one! lol

So cute! And the perfect size.
Love this dresser so much that I have to pin it! That color is gorgeous. Who doesn't love a great coral. And rub n buff is the best thing ever to revive hardware!
Sharon! I haven't been out much lately, so I am so glad I stopped by this morning! This is so unbelievably pretty! The pics aren't all of the same color are they? Is the color on the antique dresser Coral Expression? I will be thinking about this dresser all day!! :)
