Primitive Dresser

I got home last night from FL.  When I left, it was 85 and sunny.  Got home to 0 and cloudy.  Yuck!!

I picked up this dresser off of Craigslist.  I had to start off by chipping off the old veneer on top.  Luckily the previous owner had already started this : )  I painted the body of the dresser in ASCP Pure White and the drawers in ASCP Louis Blue.  I distressed the entire thing and stained the top in General Finishes Shaker Maple.  I left the original hardware as-is.

A Pair Of Nightstands

I have been having really good luck at Goodwill lately.  I found this pair of nightstands for $20!  These started out as your typical 80's golden speckled oak with big gold hardware.  I removed the hardware and filled the holes and then primed them both.  I used Benjamin Moore's Wedgewood Grey on them.

I'm off to sunny FL today... and it couldn't have come at a better time.  The below zero temps for the past week have been horrible.  Looking forward to some sun and HEAT!!

A Dixie Buffet

I was super pumped last week when I scored this Dixie buffet at Goodwill for $24.99.  It was in perfect condition!!  I decided "French Linen".  This is my FAVORITE color now!  A deeper, richer grey than "Paris Grey".  I am hooked.  I distressed and used both the clear and dark waxes.  I kept the original hardware as-is.  I taped off a stripe inside the cabinet on the hidden drawers.  The top was sanded and stained with Minwax "Dark Walnut".  I liked this one so much, I decided to keep it : )

French Linen Coffee Table

I picked this table up at Goodwill awhile back.  I sanded the top down and stained it with Minwax Dark Walnut.  The bottom is finished with ASCP French Linen.  I sealed the top with clear poly and the base with wax.

This table will be at Mama's Happy for the February sale!  February 6-10 : )

Curved Front Dresser

This is one of my favorite styles of dressers.  I have a thing for this hardware : ).  The top was sanded down and re-stained with Minwax Ebony.  The body of the dresser is ASCP French Linen and the drawers are ASCP Pure White.  I used both the dark and clear waxes.  I left the original hardware as-is.  The warmer months can't come soon enough.  It is a little chilly outside with my orbital sander when it is only 10 degrees!  I really dislike MN winters.
