I've been wanting to paint this dresser for a long time. I bought it right after I graduated from high school in 1995. I finally decided that Annie Sloans' Linen was the color I wanted it to be.
Now before anyone gets too upset that I am painting a lovely wood dresser, I thought I'd share with you some of her blemishes that I've lived with for years.
I covered them up with linens on top of the dresser now I am ready to clothe her in 'Linen' and some dark wax.
I love how the dark wax just enhanced her natural beauty :)
I am really pleased that the hardware looked great against the Linen.
Sigh!
Simple and Lovely!
Was this in Wilson's bedroom? Beautiful look now! :)
ReplyDeleteThe dresser turned out beautifully. Love that dark wax finish. However I am feeling a bit old. You graduated from high school the year I celebrated 20 years of teaching!
ReplyDeleteThe dresser looks fabulous. I love it!

Just gorgeous! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm just now letting you know my mini quilt arrived safe and sound. It's been a crazy couple of weeks around here! Thanks so much, Tammy.
This is just the right colour for this piece. I love the "columns" on each side.
ReplyDeleteYour dresser look beautiful Tammy. Nice job, Dee from My Painted Stuff
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I wonder what color that is. We don't have Linen (in Europe). It has a different name.
