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!
