Before and After- Blue Dresser

Before
After
Dark Stain
Color and Distressing Detail


Isn't she pretty! I love the blue color from glidden. It's called French grey. I think she will be perfect in my entryway with the pretty new wall color. My Mom bought this for us as a housewarming gift when we moved in. She will kill me when she sees these pictures. She believes all antiques should stay the original color but this one was screaming to be blue! And since she is a beautiful and very well made antique she had a lot of wear and tear! Sorry mom, love ya:)! My Dad happened to be in town today and stopped by to drop off another dresser I had my little brother pick up for me in Vegas. I know, I know, I should not buy stuff in Vegas when I live in Cedar City, but I hate to say it but people in Utah sell their "junk" for a lot more than people in Vegas! So thank you, Jared for picking her up! I owe you. And thanks to the best Dad ever for bringing her to me!! He arrived just as I was staining the top and chastised me for staining this beautiful mahogany piece such a dark color that was going to ruin it! Sorry Dad! But it is so pretty now!! And Happy Birthday again Dad! I love you!
So what do you guys think?
