The Little Blue Dresser


Like the little engine that could.  This little dresser thought she could, knew she could be something special.  I agreed, and Got a little "Miss Mustard Seed" with her. 


Here she is when we got her into the shop.  Very pretty or at least she had potential for sure.

I wanted to try a Grey and White color combination as I have seen so many of you do.




I painted the whole piece the Grey color.  Then put a coat of clear wax over the whole thing.  After that was dry I painted the drawers and the inset sides a white.  I also took a dry brush with white and dry brushed the raised parts of the backboard.  I then distressed the piece with Grey showing through the white areas.  A colored wax then went on over the whole piece.

 I kept the original hardware, I thought it was pretty and went so well with the backboard design.



I even tried my hand at staging it since I painted this one at home and am taking it back to the shop.


The little blue dresser was very happy again.  Now hopefully she will find a new home very soon.
