This dresser was not that beautiful in person..dull, dried with lots of old glue that I had to carefully scrap off.

I did manage to save the stained top. My Gypsy dresser has a cute story that you can read here http://theemptynest-janet.blogspot.com/2011/...

    Janet, I loved all the work you just posted!!! How far is Warrenton from Herndon VA? I'd like to visit your store when I am out there sometime. I've been wanting to try the Union Jack with ASCP but looks like that will take a long time.

    Ok great, I visit my brother every year, I will meet you this time in summer!!!

    He just moved to Ashburn anyways but I guess that shouldn't be very far either.

    That is so pretty! Years ago, i lived near Detroit and went to a small furniture store and saw some beautifully painted dressers. I just knew I could do it myself...not! You did such a great job on this!

    Janet, I only wished you lived in Atlanta so you could help me paint a dresser I bought for my daughter ($50) but still need to paint. Happy Holidays, it's a beautiful dresser.
