Painted Paisley Dresser and Side Table
3 Materials
Medium
I had been waiting a long time to find the right piece to try this fabric detail and I am so happy with the outcome that I am definitely doing this again! It was easy with a fabulous outcome!
The before
The furniture has wonderful detail but the wood tones are faded and sad. There is a fake veneer so there is no stripping or staining that I can be done on them.
Look at this awesome paisley burlap that I found at JoAnn Fabrics
The body gets a couple coats of French Linen and the drawers get a lighter version of French linen that I made with Old White. In the end you will see by using two tones of this color it will give it nice dimension.
Adding the fabric was pretty easy. I cut it to fit and then spread a layer of Mod Podge on the drawer where the fabric is to go. Once that is done lay the fabric down and smooth out any air bubbles. Then apply another liberal dose of Mod Podge to the top of the fabric and let dry. I do this with the drawers out of the dresser facing up so there are no drips.
The two toned paint and paisley fabric work really well together
