Beautiful Dresser for a Client...

I don't know if you remember the blue dresser I recently sold? Well I had a darling girl eyeing it for her nursery but the color just wasn't the right fit. As luck would have it I had a dresser that suited her needs perfectly and could custom finish it in white which was what she had been hoping for.
I won't say it was an easy process, though! She had hoped we could distress it in gold which seemed easy enough, right? WRONG! :) I decided to use gold spray paint just under the spots I intended to distress. Simple enough. Well little did I know that the sheen was too high for the top coat to adhere. Boy, oh boy was that a doozy!! Like I said, she wanted it distressed but the paint was peeling off like a good old piece of dead skin after a sunburn which is a satisfying feeling...but not when a dresser is involved!! YIKES! I ended up having to strip the entire thing and start from scratch. The end result was worth the sweat and tears :) It turned out amazing and will look absolutely adorable in her nursery!
Happy weekend ~Kell
