This beautiful, all wood dresser was found at an estate sale. It was a jem, but at the time it was hard to see how it could shine. The dresser was in one of the many bedrooms, covered in dust and filled with stuff - papers, life’s tidbits, you name it. I decided to pick this guy up, and with a little sanding and paint bring it back to life.

The Details:

The outside is painted in a mid-light gray and then finished with a gloss sealer. The inside drawers are painted with a seafoam green, a nice contrast to the outside gray.

After painting, but before sealing, I distressed the edges and knobs to give the dresser a more cottage-chic feel.
