This dated Dixie French Provincial 9 drawer dresser gets a fresh new look with glossy enamel paint in Olympic's Still Tidewater.

The dresser was in great shape considering its age, but the original finish was tired and ugly!

I had Sherwin Williams color match Still Tidewater in their Industrial Enamel High Gloss Oil.

All of the curves and carvings look so pretty with their glossy new look!

The hardware got a coat of gold spray paint. My favorite gold is Rustoleum Gold Metallic.

This dresser was client owned and will live in the nursery of my customer's youngest daughter. I can't think of a better piece that will grow with a little girl than this! The color will easily transition from nursery all the way through to her teenage years.

Is this color Sherwin Williams or Olympic - your info says both??? Sometimes color don't translate well to other brands example is Ben. Moore's Swiss Coffee - I tried to have it done by formula into Sherwin Williams and into a couple of cheaper paints too. SW did it by formula and by scan - wouldn't work. I had painted a swatch on wall of BM's and then swatches of the others and the difference were significant - some too grey,nsome to brown or too yellow where the BM is a beautiful cream. Since this is one of those types of colors that can be difficult, would like to have same brand you used. Thanks.

I have a similar dresser. Some one used some kind of plastic poxy i guess on the plastic drawers. Then tried to use wood paint remover on them. Is there any way to fix the drawers. I love the dresser and only paid 10 for it. Ive tried sanding and doesnt seem to touch it. Help. Thank you Amy

LOVE LOVE LOVE. How did you remove the handles in order to spray paint them without damaging the dresser?

Super cute! I'd paint everything blue or mint if I could LOVE!
