Starfish dresser

By MaryEllen at 100 Thousand Welcomes in Stratford, CT.

This Antique Oak Eastlake style dresser was given a "makeunder!" It was stripped of layers of paint, stain and varnish and fine sanded to reveal all its natural beauty. It was then whit washed with GF Antique white milk paint and sealed with white wax for a super, smooth driftwood finish. The hardware was replaced with pulls wrapped in jute. Great understated look!
