The Red Baron Strikes Again!
3 Materials
This fun dresser was given an eye-catching new look by Kim from The Painted Poppy Studio with Devotion and Vanilla Frosting!
Hi everyone! It’s Kim from The Painted Poppy Studio back with a bold and fun dresser for you. This waterfall dresser started out with a few veneer blemishes, a chip or two missing from the corners and some structural issues with the drawers, but overall it was in great shape and was the perfect candidate for a fresh new look.
It just so happened that my package of Country Chic Paint containing a pint of Devotion (chalk style), a pint of Vanilla Frosting (chalk style), and a few other paints, arrived the same day that I sat down to watch the Peanuts movie with my daughter. While watching the movie, I had a “light bulb” moment during the scenes of Snoopy vs the Red Baron in the movie. You see where this is going don’t you? 😉
Devotion is a beautiful colour. Red is one of my favourite colours and this is the PERFECT shade of red for me…and also for the Red Baron (who was Manfred von Richthofen – a WW1 German flying ace who was known for his all red Fokker Dr.1 tri-plane).
Once everything was painted, I did a final sanding and put a coat of Antiquing Wax on for protection and to tone down the contrast between the Devotion and Vanilla Frosting paints. This dresser turned out exactly as I was hoping for and would definitely be a statement piece in any room.
