For sale is this gorgeous hand painted dresser.

You have catapulted me into the Graphic Fairys site! I noticed the veneer on the first picture is chipped and missing some.

I just stripped the top of my sideboard (I think it was built in the 30s, but needed major help) and have been trying to decide if I should paint it with Emperors Silk or Old Ochre/dark stain on top.

You did a great job. It was a little rustic to say the least.

I snatch em up for sure! Congrats!

But I chose to paint it to match the cabinet. Beautiful wood detailing embossed and emphasized with distressing that has been done.

Hurry before I take a paintbrush to it again and start adding polka dots or a fairy to it!!! In reading over the post again, and looking at the pictures closely, Im wondering why the Primer Red didnt show through in the distressing. Looks amazing!!!! I use Annie Sloan Clear and Dark Wax.

Wonderful!

Doesnt your princess deserve this amazing gold gilded vintage mirror to see herself in?

I feel like I have more control over the lettering with that one. Beautiful!!!!

I would challenge anyone to go to Stickley and find a comparable solid wood dresser at that price. ;) xo. The piece was finished with a clear wax and some slight distressing- which REALLY enhances all of the architectural style not found on pieces sold today! How white they are,

Hi Claudia!

And I really wanted to do something fun and funky with it!

Love how your sideboard/bar turned out, Nancy. Love the graphic and colors you have choosen.such a transformation! They seem to work best without leaving marks I dont want after. Do you use a pencil to first transfer? Nancy, Stunning! the Chalk Paint would be less likely to do that, smudge, because it is more dry and chalky when dry. Take care and thanks again!!! But I went ahead and finished it anyway. :)

Think dining room, hallway, foyer, master bath (have a vessel sink added!) I took at look at your piece. Some are pretty easy!

Tonita @ http://www.ShabbyChicTinyRetreat.blogspot.com, Hi Tonita! Oh your sideboard, you said on the bottom part you used mostly clear wax and some dark wax.

Just had to say.

You are welcome! What a gorgeous piece to begin with, but the AFTER is amazing!

Tv stand is a handsome solid wood with glass top. I have used a sharpie before but like the control I have with a brush better so I usually just stick with that. We are all guilty of that a time or two (or three! :), Hi Nancy love this make-over and the graphics you chose are perfect for this piece. (as in Marie Antoinette- who was the queen right before the French revolution & who was famous for her let them eat cake.. and then sadly for losing her head but we digress) And then to vamp up on the couturewhat is more romantic than France? And having your furniture talk to you is the way to go!!! Nancy. You have the beginnings of a gorgeous room!!!! It's 2022 and its time for a change! Beautiful!

Thank you so much Linda! I have been trying to get the courage to repaint it this would be a perfect look for his as well.

HELP!!! I moved the projector around until I got the graphic where I wanted it >>>. ;) Thanks for linking up. In fact. I can do it! Ok, Im not following, lol. ;), Great work. Aw, thanks so much, Christina! I am relatively new to Chalk paint having had to track down a retailer . xo. Nancy, Thanks for the inspiration I used this graphic on the front of an Old White corner cabinet, and it turned out great. I bought a small projector from the craft store years ago but it seems your projector would work better to project larger images on large furniture pieces. There is always a supply of pieces waiting patiently there for me. So, you can do it either way, it just depends on the look you are after. And of course being sure the paint is fully dry before sanding. It turned out gorgeous! (white, brown, blue, black, etc). Matching end tables and coffee tableperfect condition. I love the graphics you added and the dark top. Thanks for the pin !! Just sent you an email to ask a few questions Thanks! this is so fabulous! Dark wood that could easily be painted to update.

Yes, I love when I come across these great bargains! Hope you have a great day and thanks for taking the time to comment!! What an amazing job you did.

I havent painted the drawers inside yet BUT WILL!!!!

If its a large area however, Id probably just remove all the veneer and sand the wood smooth. Haha, Want to know about 26 other chalk-style paints? Great job!
