Maple Dresser in Grey

I've had this solid maple piece in my garage for a while now and finally got around to it. I had planned to paint it in Old White, but was looking through Restoration Hardware's Baby and Child catalog and love all the shades of grey so I ended up using French Linen and Paris Grey.  The top didn't get as dark as most of my tops do and had a little copper color to it so I mixed up spanish copper and antique gold rub n buff for the hardware.  This piece would look great just about anywhere!

French Inspired Buffet

When I first saw this buffet at RPK Interiors I fell in love!  I ran right out and bought a stencil, but didn't have anything to put it on, so when this piece came along I knew it would be perfect.  It was another CL find that I was lucky enough to get to first.  I loved the long turned legs, but other than that it was fairly plain.  It had hepplewhite hardware that I removed and replaced with these really pretty glass knobs I found at Home Depot.  I think you can get them cheaper on ebay, but I didn't want to wait.  I used Paris Grey with clear, dark, and white wax to seal, Pure White on the details and stencil, and Graphite with poly and dark wax on the top.

Dresser in Turquoise

I love this dresser!  It's solid mahogany which meant I had to get out the shellac.  I thought maybe it wouldn't bleed through the blue, but I was wrong.  The drawers didn't need any work at all and glide in and out with ease.  The size of it makes it really versatile. It's painted in a mix of Provence, Pure White, and Aubusson, with a wash on the drawers.

Serpentine Dresser in Old White

Mahogany 9 drawer dresser painted in Old White, dark walnut top, and oil rubbed bronze hardware.  I keep wanting to use a little more color, but this is such a classic piece and can be used anywhere, so I stayed with Old White.   Follow me on Facebook here.   Lots of pictures coming up:
