Rustic Farmhouse Dresser

This is what half water / half paint looks like! Brush on, wipe off...brush on, wipe off!  I needed a pretty weathered piece to achieve this look. I was planning to stain this piece in navy but decided on a different direction after I began to clean it up.  As most of my projects do, the dresser looks different than I planned but love the outcome. 

This dresser has served a full life already, but looks to stand another 60 years.  It's solid and very heavy. I used a wax to protect the surface and the finish. 

I replaced the old ugly hardware with these simple classic cup pulls in the bronze finish. 

I'm positive my love affair for this color will never end...I mean, really? How can you not dram of the ocean every time you see this color?

Best to all,

Me with This Amazing Piece of Furniture

 I haven't painted a piece like this in awhile. My creative side LOVES to paint this style, though. I realize the look now is more of a clean look without much variation but I think this look is timeless. Paint has always become chipped, worn and aged.

I took so many photos of this piece.  I chose my favorites - hope you enjoy!
