Pretty Little Details! This 1930's detailed 5 drawer Mahoghany dresser was given a 'new' shabby chic look! After repairing chipped veneer, gluing and clamping drawer joints and block readjustment, she was ready for finish! This piece was coated with 3 coats of Shellac to prevent tannin bleedthrough and painted with one coat of AS Old Ochre chalk paint, followed by 2 coats of AS Pure White chalk paint. Sealed with clear and white wax. GF Pitch Black glaze used on details. Distressed with 220 grit snading pad.
