I painted everything, but the drawer fronts. I used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Mora.
I did not add any bonding agent and was hoping the paint would chip, but it didn't. There are some spots I thought might where the wood is showing through the paint, but no chipping or peeling.
I painted the knobs in Typewriter with the same milk paint.
While we are here I thought I would share how I restyled the cabinet. I placed this little silver wind up clock that I found at the flea market last weekend next to some old books.
Another old and crazed Dundee Marmalade jar was added to my collection from this etsy shop. The more crazing the better.
More old books. I love decorating with these.
A framed sheep picture sits on each shelf. I have had these for years.

Kim, I love the clean finish of the dresser. Of course, your styling is perfect as always.
ReplyDeleteWhen a piece speaks to you, you've got to get it! That's my philosophy. I really like the way you left the wood on the drawer fronts. Great little cabinet on top with fun vintage goodies!

love the styling!
ReplyDeleteIf you're not painting, you're shopping! LOL
ReplyDeleteKim, I love the dresser! It looks great with less chipping and I love the natural wood drawer fronts. The cabinet on top is perfect and I love the way you styled it. You are super talented and I get inspiration everytime I visit your blog. You never cease to amaze me with your styling skills.
ReplyDeleteGreat results, Kim! This project probably didn't take that much time and the result is so pretty! I tell my customers, once you get the hang of it, milk paint is a great alternative to chalk, which we also sell. We've started straining the mixed paint through a dollar store strainer, to remove the minerals, that won't dissolve. works great!
ReplyDeleteKim, why is it I love everything you do? :) Your vision is amazing and I get so much inspiration from your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of it, too and loved how it turned out! Love how it looks by leaving the drawer fronts unpainted.... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Love the drawer fronts, the markings are beautiful....did you wax them??
