I have been almost finished with this project for well over a month. Just waiting for the hardware to come in the mail. A little bit of a snag in the project. This dresser was given to me by a friend. She bought it in an antique shop and used it for her daughter until it just became too worn looking. Perfect for me.
The top is a dark distressed stain. I painted different shades of gold, gray and white over the white paint (and probably other layers) that were already there. I heavily distressed it bringing some of it back to the original dark stain. This isn’t for everyone, but I wanted to give it a whirl and I am pleased how it came out.
