1920's Style Dresser

This dresser was in beautiful shape, it had already been sanded down and I sure didn't want to cover up the woodgrain. The biggest challenge for this dresser was the hardware. The top handles had been re-drilled to be 3" on center, which is fine. The bottom six handles had wooden handles that were 2" on center. It's pretty tough to find handles that are 2" on center, even online. So, I eventually figured out that I need to use the wooden handles, so I repainted them using the Krylon Hammered Steel spray paint.
The woodgrain is preserved because the colorwash is created from watered down chalk paint, then sanded a bit. The final step was to use furniture paste wax and seal it up!

A Pair of Peaches!

When my friend gave me these two end tables, I saw the color orange. I knew they would look great - but would other people like them, too? Well, they are still for sale, so that part remains to be seen. I love the shape of the tables and the hardware was in great shape, only needing a spray of Krylon's Hammered steel spray paint. I mixed my own chalk-type paint for these using some orange from my local Ace Hardware, then used beeswax for the smooth, satin finish.
