Gorgeous Before and After: Refinished Dresser
by
Laura
I found an incredible solid wood, serpentine front dresser on Craigslist for $50! All it needed was a bit of refinishing to make it shine.
Before: in good shape, but the finish had a lot of wear.
I decided to stain the top, and paint the bottom with Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue Chalk Paint. Starting to strip the top!
Here you can see the difference between the painted drawer with no wax, and the painted drawer with dark wax. It muted the bright blue, and added a lot of character.
The finished product - now one of my favorite pieces!

I just showed this to my daughter who moved into her own house, finally ! It will be the focal point of her house! I already have a mahogany dresser from my grandmother sitting in the garage, just waiting for something this pretty. It looks awesome !!
