Large dresser

Another Friday has come so I thought I would share another one of my recent projects over at Miss Mustard Seed's place. I've actually finished quite a few so that has been very fun and rewarding. I'm debating whether or not to sell this beauty, she is rather large which is nice for storing things but she also takes up a lot of room in our bedroom. Tim also has requested a different color paint so I'm leaning toward selling this one and keeping an eye out for a new one.
Either way, here is the before picture:




And a few afters.







Isn't she a beauty?!

The gentleman who sold her to me was very kind and helped me load her into my car, DANG is she heavy!!

The top was sanded down and stained with Dark Walnut (my fav!) and the base was painted in ASCP Paris Gray and lightly distressed. She came with a fitted glass topper so that's why the top looks so shiny although I did do three coats of polycrylic to make sure it was well protected.

I love it! What do you think?

China Cabinet

Linking up with the FABULOUS Miss Mustard Seed!!
Here is a craigs list china cabinet I painted with Annie Sloans Paris Gray and Old white. It really brought out the fun details on the piece and gave it a fresh look. Kept the old hardware because it just really fit it. Looks pretty with my china but I think I'll let someone else have this one so shoot me an email if you're interested and in the DFW area because it's for sale!
Love that chalk paint!!
