I painted the drawers inside because of a 'mildew' smell. It helped.
Monday (Halloween) I painted the dresser with ASCP Versailles and Old White after giving the dresser a light sanding to remove the loose varnish.
Tuesday I painted the dresser with ASCP Paris Grey and Old White.
This isn't the end though, it hasn't been 'worn a bit', has no handles and hasn't been waxed. That is for another post.Can you believe the dahlia's haven't been 'frosted' yet - picked these on October 31st.
Some more 'colour' changes might be happening too. A comparison of the 'as it came', Versailles and Old White and finally Paris Grey and Old White.
More to come another day.

I love what you did with the Paris Gray and Old White! So glad your "saving" this piece. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference some elbow grease and paint makes! It is looking great! One of these days I need to try come chalk paint:)
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely transformation!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVersailles...Paris Grey...beautiful possibilities...looking forward to seeing your finished piece!
ReplyDeleteI love it! If you still have a problem with musty drawers, try a few drops of rosemary essential oil. That's what British antique dealers use.
ReplyDeleteI've never used ASCP yet but I see it all around. Yours turned out fantastic, do you see a big difference with ASCP? Worth the money?
ReplyDeleteooh! lookin' good! can't wait to see what comes next!
