‘Beauty can be found,
Beauty in old
Beauty in new
Beauty can be found if your looking for it
Don’t disregard what the eye naturally perceives as worthless 🖤
This dresser, as soon as I saw it, I knew that it had to be black! A dark beauty! I’m not naturally drawn to dark pieces, but I couldn’t help my need to have this one dark.
It wasn’t awful to begin with. But sometimes the beauty is overlooked, when your not looking! I watched this piece of Facebook go from being listed at 100$ for weeks and I got it for 35$, people had no interest in this at this point.
It’s amazing what’s underneath.
This took 60 grit scuffing with my orbital sander
The places where I wasn’t going to stain, didn’t need to be taken down to bare wood, it would just be more work that wasn’t needed.
I wanted the illusion that this piece had A separate Base. So I taped of where I wanted it to begin.
I primed 3 coats because the cherry looking stain is Always bad for bleeding.
I used zinsser shellac based primer
I did 3 coats
After I added the wax I sanded with 220 grit than top coated
I’m obsessed with this hardware! I got on amazon for dirt cheap!
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How are you using this piece, which room? Nice project.
Why is the link for knobs, for knobs that look nothing like the ones on the dresser ?
I'm not familiar with using wax on furniture. Is there one kind that's best? What do you mean by putting a top coat on after the wax dried? Is that a coat of paint?
