It's Blog Time

It's time for a BLOG!!!  This blog will be about re-purposing and re-doing furniture with paint and stain.  Hopefully you will like some of the before and afters.

 Here is the Before of a dresser that I got off of Craigslist.  It was in really good condition, so there wasn't much prep work to it.  I just removed hardware and cleaned it up pretty good.  That includes vacuuming out the drawers and cleaning underneath the piece where spiders like to hang out!  Gross, I know.

Here is the After.  It was painted with Maison Blanche Vintage Paint in Creme De Menthe and Maison White.  Then I distressed the edges of it to give it a shabby look.  I used a clear wax on the whole piece.  Maison Blanche has 4 different wax colors to choose from, but on this one I wanted to keep it close to its original color.  (This Paint and wax is available for sale at The Bee's Knees in Searcy). The hardware was cleaned up a little bit, but left the original color.   This size dresser is pretty versatile.  You could use as a dresser of course or a media center and  I think it would be great to use as a changing table!

This dresser is for sale at The Mustard Seed Antique Mall in Oxford, MS for $225.
