Chippy Paint on Colorful Dresser Knobs

It's like a vase of fresh flowers...
 
these colorful chippy paint knobs!
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
Just a bowl of colorful hardware
 
with a chippy old paint styling
 
is a fun blast of texture.
 
I need that in January!
 
I'm already thinking spring color and warm weather.
 
 
 
 
I really didn't have any plan to post about this
 
but when these colors made me happy on this rainy day
 
I thought they might make you happy too.
 
They started out black and were great that way too.
 
 
 
But the color adds such a nice pop
 
that will go with Dane's comforter...
 
a mix of blue, green, red and orange.
 
 
 
 
To get the chippy look:
 
Your base coat will be what you want to show through.
 
It's great if it can be a semi-gloss base
 
but other finishes work too.
 
When you put the first coat of paint on
 
it will be a faded washed out look.
 
To get the vibrant color
 
you will need to apply about 3 coats.
 
After it dries,
 
Brush on Polycrylic Sealer.
 
 
 
 
While it is wet or damp,
 
take a paper towel and rub off color in places.
 
Now you have the chippy paint look!
 
Here are the paint color details:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You can find paint detail for the dresser here.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
Sharing my little bowl of color
 
with you today!
