I actually got another one identical to this, CL of course! |
I came across a roadside rescue of a dresser from artisbeauty.net that I fell in love with! They did a phenomenal job painting their dresser.
I hate to be a total copy-cat, but I loved everything about it!
Including the color. Karin and Katie, I hope you don't mind!!
I mixed up my own green chalk paint, since I'm up to my eyeballs in paint!
I just kept adding colors until I liked the shade!
I sanded everything because it had a glossy finish. I stained the top in a dark walnut mixed
with a little red mahogany.
with a little red mahogany.
I don't have pics of the actual painting process because I was too lazy to go inside and get the camera! What I did was freehand the the leaves using regular chalk.
If I made a mistake, it erased easily! I went back with some off-white chalk paint
and a small painters brush, and filled in the pattern.
Glass knobs from HL finished her off!

How do you change things so people can stop stealing your content? I have a horrible time with my photos. It's one thing when someone shares what you've done, but to flat out steel it to advertise for their own good is REALLY bothering me; I like you, put in countless hours working hard to create unique things and am sick and tired of people taking advantage.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AWESOME! Like, really really fabulous. I also love your tip of using chalk to freehand. I never thought of that and will definitely be using that one in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your creation at Get Schooled Saturday...ps. I will be featuring it next week:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a dark stained top. And this looks fabulous with the teal/turquoise color. Wish it was mine!
ReplyDeleteOh SERIOUSLY! *sluuuurp*. That's me sucking up my drool. I love it that much.
