I found this Cedar Chest buried in a basement and filthy dirty and sceaming for a make over , I had to have it !!
Brought it home and gave it a thorough cleaning, and sanded the top to reveal an inlaid Diamond top ! I didnt want to loose that so I used Nutmeg Gel stain to enhance the diamond. then I used the Linen and pearlized the details on the front. Topped off with G.F. high performance in flat & G.F. Gel Top Coat in Satin .

It was time for a new dresser for my daughter, (hers had been an Antique dresser for the past 15 years that i painted for her )
I picked up this dresser for her at an estate sale , It didnt need much work ,just updating , So I painted it using a mix of Queenston ,
Driftwood and little Lamp Black, with the Pitch Black Glaze for a silky smokey effect. topped it off with G.F.high performance in Gloss
and G.F. high perfomance in flat. Updated the original hardware by painting them silver.
Looks awesome in her room.

I was running low on Summertime Blue ,so I mixed what i had left with Charleton Blue & Stillwater Blue. I loved the shade of blue
that it made . I sanded down the top to Java Gel, & sanded the shine off of the rest. Painted the entire chest the "new" blue.
I put the enlarged Image transfer onto the drawers, once good and dry ,I glazed the drawers with G.F.Pitch Black Glaze to give it a faded
shadowy effect.
For protection I used 1 coat of G.F. high perfomance in gloss & 2 coats of G.F. high performance in flat.

When we found out we were going to be first time grand parents , my mind was racing with excitement and ooohhh I cant wait to do the nursery furniture ! I knew what my vision was , it was just finding the right piece. I found an old dry sink with drawers and a hutch , solid wood and in great shape . Luckily my daughter in law loved it as much as I , and she could invision it as a changing table as well, and dresser for years to come. August 2017 baby , your room is ready
She wanted to keep it gender neutral so we went with a soft green and the Java Gel for durability.
