Turquoise Princess Dresser


This princess dresser was painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in a mix of Duck Egg Blue, Louis Blue and Provence.  I then distressed the dresser and finished with the Soft Wax in Clear and Dark.



The top was stained with Minwax in Dark Walnut.


A princess dresser definitely needs glass knobs; therefore, the wood knobs were changed to glass.


Before with the top sanded.


After.

Your dresser sure has lovely lines and I like that you didn't paint all of it (but what you painted looks fabulous!)

That looks beautiful! I did almost the exact same thing for a dresser that a friend used for a changing table. You can check it out here.

Between Blue and Yellow said...

What a great find. I usually do dark stained tops, but may have to try a lighter one now that I've seen this:)

Jenny said...

Wonderful job! I love the curves and the color - and I like that you left the top stained. The knobs are the perfect jewelry for such a feminine piece. Well done!

Fabulous Color & Perfect Transformation!

Katie said...

This is so gorgeous Katie!! I love the warm wood with the aqua! You did such a fantastic job!

Ashley said...

That's beautiful. I have a similar dressed (although not with such great curvy lines), that's in need of an overhall. It came to me an awful shade of green, and I gave up stripping and painted it over white. Now that I have more space to actually work on projects...I might give it another go. Love the wood top.

P.S. I came here from the A2D link party. :)

Becky@Beyond The Picket Fence said...

She's a beauty, thanks for linking up!

You did such a great job on this piece. It just looks so smooth! The color is fantastic too. Love the warm wood top! The dark walnut is not as dark as I had thought it would be.

I REALLY like this dresser. I've been searching for a curvy front dresser for a long time. If I ever find one I might copy you. It's beautiful!
