Creamy White Antique Dresser

 GIVEAWAY HERE!!!


As much as I love color, sometimes white is essential in a space. One thing I have learned is that it is a neutral that sells! When I think about what I would like to put in to one of my stores, I know I need at least one white piece of furniture.

I came across this great dresser. It is so dark you can't even make out any of the details. That's where the paint comes in. This is the first time I had a problem working with Annie Sloan Paint. I use several different paints when I restore my furniture. I figured I needed to do this quick so I can get it in the store so I used ASCP. Because of the dark stain it bled through the color making this a headache to work with.

Have any of you had this problem?

I winded up making it work by layering waxes and paint. BUT WHAT A PAIN!

This is how it started out.


It is a really nice size and oh the detailing.


After much pampering I ended up with a beauty. I added crystal knobs to finish off.


It is a creamy white that will go with anything. Lightly distressed, the details are what makes the piece memorable.




I will be joining Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley for the 45th annual CMA awards tonight! The hottest ticket in Nashville! I am so excited! Look for me in the audience if you watch it!

I have so much to do but I am not gonna miss the opportunity to see my favorite country artists!

Have a great day!

Almost forgot....Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY HERE!
