Before and After - Dresser!
So I finally finished the dressers. Well mostly. I went with a smoky gray like Ali suggested...but ended up doing a metallic paint. It isn't overboard, but a little different. Color is Smoke by modern masters. I didn't have to do anything to the hardware on the large dresser, because what looked awful and old on with the previous paint looks great with the new color. Now I'm just mimicking the effect on the hardware for the little dresser.
Before pic - what you can't see here is how yellowed and uneven the enamel is. It was really off-white, and in some places down right nasty.
And here is is now! We're not using the mirror. I'll eventually paint it and put in storage, but I want to get Nick a nightstand first (and make sure I have enough paint for it). We'll be putting our 20x30 print over this dresser - once I get it framed.
Re: Before and After - Dresser!
Angel, you did a kick_ass job on that! It looks fantastic! And I love that your kitty is hiding under the dresser in your pics.
Also, slightly random, what poster is that in the upper right hand corner of your before pic? It looks familiar, and I'm fairly certain I owned it at one point in time....
You did a wonderful job on that dresser. I love that Modern Masters paint, I used the peridot on anaglyptic wallpaper on my bathroom ceiling. It is so much easier to use than the Ralph Lauren metallic paint was.
You should send your before and after into Grace at D*S. She has a great "before" & "after" section.
