This project is not my next in order but after waiting over a month to receive hardware in the mail, it just so happened that I was able to finish two dressers with plenty of extra time. This one happened to be easier to put the hardware on…
I was given this dresser by my friend Amy. Unfortunately I don’t think I have a before photo.
You can see the other dresser partially finished behind.
Now, I know this isn’t for everyone. I really wanted to try my hand at a very distressed piece. This piece has a distressed dark stained top. It was white when I received it. I painted different shades of gold, gray and white. I added a stain on top of the paint to age the white after it was heavily and I mean heavily distressed. As you can see, I chipped off, scratched off, sanded off to the original stained wood that may have been painted over several times before I received it. Then I waxed it.
The hardware is a very rustic, rusted metal hoop. Simple but fitting.
Oh how I love the different textures and colors. So much at work here.
This is sort of a washed out photo against the bright yellow but one of the complete shape.
