This old dresser had a few dings and flaws but was not too far gone to create a brand new glam look with inexpensive products.1st step is always to clean her up and prepare the surface for a new look. I wanted to stain the top, but as you can see it wasn't in great shape even after sanding. I used Pre-stain to help even out the finish when it was stained.
Using an all over wall stencil and spackling, I applied the stencil to the drawer fronts with an old credit card. This is easy, but time consuming because you must wait for the spackling to dry between passes.
I painted the body and drawer with a gold metallic paint, followed up with a coat of polyurethane to protect the water based stencil. Let it dry overnight.
Painted the body with a mixture of paints I mixed together as I applied it to give the finish more depth and interest. This was homemade chalk paint I made with paint samples and Plaster of Paris.
I distressed it to show off the gold paint base coat.
Here's the main reason I used poly after the gold base coat. I knew I wanted to distress the stenciled pattern after painting, and I needed a little more protection so I wouldn't scrub off the gold on the raised stencil too easily.
Used Gold metallic Rub and Buff over the drawer details to highlight.
Spray painted the old hardware with Rust-oleum gold metallic paint. Followed with antiquing glaze and protective clear top coat.
Stained the top with General Finishes Java Gel stain and Gel Top coat. Lined the drawer with fabric with Mod Podge.
Now she's ready for her new home!
The prettiest girls are pretty inside and out.
