Welcome back my Beauties!!!
I hadn't been planning on showing a makeover but alas we got snowed in this fine April day so I figured since I couldn't be outside painting, I might as well be inside by the fire editing and typing up a post!
I had been working on furniture pretty much every day but then the temps dropped as they love to do here and we got a freak mid april snow storm and I got really grumpy and refused to go outside :)
So my grumpiness is your Before and After Makeover post!
I have had this dresser for a few months in my garage waiting for inspiration. I picked it up at the local thrift store for a great deal.
I knew she needed some work but that was no big deal.
You can't see from the picture but the top was pretty gross and you can see where the old hardware had been spinning around for quite some time making the drawer not so pretty.

So I just grabbed my
and gave the top a sanding all the way down and the base a quick smooth down.
I decided I wanted to go with a two tone finish and that was the reason I took the top all the way down to the bare wood.
Once the top was sanded and wiped down I decided to go with my
You can see here how it gave a rich finish and really made the grain pop!
While that was drying I painted the base with one of my absolutely
favorite new colors from
I gave it two coats to give it that deep finish.
Plus I spray painted the old hardware Gold to make that pop too!
I just love how the wood finish with the deep green and brass all plays off each other.
Now she is all ready to go be loved again and
get the royal treatment in some new owners home!
Now if you don't mind me, I am going to go hide under a pile of warm laundry until all the snow melts.
Until then,
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!

I love how this turned out. I love the paint/stain mix. I did an antique dresser with the same technique.
Stunning transformation, well done! Looking forward to seeing more from you! Carolina at Hamilton Billiards.
