Inspiration: Antique Dresser Redo

SOLD

This little antique piece ~~was a hot mess~~ needed a little T.L.C. before it could be painted. The back had fallen off somewhere in time and I'm pretty sure it had been the home for a scary critter.

I ~~scrubbed the crap out of it~~ carefully cleaned the wood and went to work. Mr. Vintage Fragment made the repairs and installed a new backing board.

She's painted in Old White and Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint. I'm completely smitten with the Duck Egg Blue Color these days.

This fabulous find is from an old antique store. She's a vintage beauty! Great lines, solid wood!

Gorgeous Acanthus Leaf Hardware!

I started with a a coat of Chalk Paint in Old White on the Cabinet and all the drawers.

The front panels and the inside of the drawers were painted in Duck Egg Blue. I lined them up to guild silver stripes out of gilding wax. I taped off the stripes using painters tape.

The hardware received some silver gilding as well! So pretty!

Finished the entire thing of with a coat of clear wax.

Before and After: Shabby Chic Antique Fireside Ottoman

So I met some super fabulous people who were selling off the remnants of their grandfathers antique store. This is one of the MANY pieces I purchased. She's not much to look at now. Tired finish and ugly, faded floral tapestry fabric. With no cush for our tush! Or your toes for that matter. But, look at the bones! This gals gotta great shape and just needs a little makeover!

I took the seat off and layered on some Chalk Paint in Old White. While it was drying I set to work on reupholstering the seat.

I found some bright and cheery fabric with the colors I love so much right now--turqouise and teal! Don't you love the pattern? It's sort of Gypsy meets shabby chic!
