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?

Very nice. How did you like painting a whole dresser with ASCP? I've yet to do a whole dresser. I did try a corner hutch in old white but it turned out very creamy and I stopped half way thru as I didn't like it and it took a few coats. Weird, maybe it's just that color? I have painted other smaller pieces in different colors and all seemed to go great! Good luck, I wonder how long this ASCP craze will last?
