Something Blue

A client brought me her $20 find, and asked that it be painted blue. She decided that Nepolatian Blue Annie Sloan Chalk Paint was the color she wanted. First, (always the first step) was to clean it up and take those stickers off. Then, the sanding. Once I started sanding I was starting to see how beautiful the wood top was under that brown paint! I asked my client if she would consider the top stained instead of painted, the wood, even though not perfect was too beautiful to cover with paint again!

My client and I were talking about the hardware for the dresser and I asked her to hold off on purchasing anything until after I had cleaned up the hardware. I had a feeling it was going to look perfect against the blue once it was cleaned up!

As an added surprise, the sides of the drawers were painted and stenciled..

This piece looks beautiful in her home entryway!
