French Provincial Dresser...SOLD

Well...it was a beast to tackle but I am happy to report that the darling French provincial dresser I had is finally finished. I am not sure what the previous owners had been thinking but apparently they thought "textured" furniture was all the rage because they had some kind of a texturing agent sprayed on it that was not too pleasant to get off! I'll be honest though...it’s pieces like this that make what I do fun. I am completely in love with "Before & After" pictures and this one gives you a good set of those :)

I had a sweet friend wanting this for her toddler daughter’s room which already had a distinct color scheme so she picked "Sea Kiss" by Valspar to tie right in with the darling decor. To finish it I had to strip it more than once. You will see from my pictures that follow just how much "texturing" came off :/ After I had stripped it I still had to sand it quite a bit but it came out very smooth which made it all worth it. Then I applied the paint, sanded it again and applied the wax seal. She had requested pewter hardware to match the existing metals in the room so I painted all of them and voila...a darling solid dresser that is sure to last for years to come!!

Happy Easter, everyone ~Kell
