{ BLACK DRESSER }

sorry... no before pics

i wiped out

dropped my camera

and it broke!

it ended up being a good excuse

to get a new camera!

so with new camera in hand
and lack of a better post title

i introduce you to
the black dresser...


painted in annie sloans graphite...


the drawer details in a creamy white...


then waxed with fiddes rugger brown


( thanks miss mustard seed )

  16. How fun to see a finished piece using the Graphite color. I've been wanting to order a can of it.

    You did a fabulous job on this piece with the white details and the perfect amount of distressing. I'd love to be your newest follower and can't wait ot see more : )

    Love finding such a creative furniture "upscaler" like myself.

  20. Hilary you are getting so good at refinishing furniture! These new products have made all the difference I think. These look like something you'd find in a high end store only the best part is...they've been recycled and refinished...awesome! What a far cry from the first post I remember seeing about your neighbors barn ;)
