This is the final look. Please see before and the process below.
First I spotted the dresser at the local yard sale - it was all broken and my husband Greg had to fix it.
That is how it looked before I painted it. Audrey, my client from Groton chose this potential for her son's Birthday present with the idea to turn it to the sport theme.
I painted this dresser with Volcano Blue chalk paint products from Paint Du Coco.
Then, my husband Greg Marshall, who is a professional artist made a sketch for me the size I had envisioned for this particular piece.
I enhanced lines with colors free hand, using brushes of the right size.
After adding more colors, it was coming out awesome. I got so into it that i designed the hardware as a little footballs .
Here is close up in the hardware design - hand painted footballs.
I had to work on details in particular, leveling and fixing each spot to make lines straight accurately.
Johnny was getting ready for his Birthday party. When I had delivered the dresser to his house we felt like we were ready of some football. I wore Gronk's jersey and Johnny Brady's. He was so exited to and started planning how he is going to organize his clothes inside of the dresser. Ha, I guess that is the way to keep kids organized. LOL
Enjoyed the project?
