A "would you buy it" continued


A couple of weeks ago I was given this dresser. It needed some help. Click here for that post.
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.

  9. I 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.

  10. I'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?
