Fleur Chalk Paint Dresser

When I saw this dresser I wasn't sure if I should buy it. The stain was cherry and the varnish was very thick. I knew there was going to be some kind of issue, but couldn't resist the lovely details...
Here is the before:
There was lots of cherry stain and a thick varnish coating the entire piece.
To create this look, I sanded the top and stained it with Minwax Special Walnut.
I painted the body in Duck Egg Blue and Old White Chalk Paint®. For the beautiful brocade, I used a Royal Design Studio stencil.
The bone pulls are from Hobby Lobby. I'm so glad I decided to pick her up. She's one of my favorites. Full details on the makeover and steps are on my blog post.
