So many furniture pieces.
So little time to post about them : )
Paintbrush is priority most days.
This is such a sweet shape -
a small chest of drawers
that looked like this before:
The top was rough.
After stripper and stain,
I applied polyurethane with
folded foam.
(using a smidge of paint thinner to extend)
A palette of blue, gray, and raw sienna
combined to make a nice layered look
on the drawer fronts.
Drag the paint with folded cardstock.
Here are some more before and afters:
These will be display pieces
for a flower shop.
How about this for
"work from home" style.
Paint and fabric on vinyl:
The great thing about painted furniture blogs
is the exchange of ideas.
There's hope for almost every piece of old furniture!
Happy painting,
Deb

You are such an artist! Gorgeous!
Just gorgeous!!! I love it all but I have to say I really love the credenza! So pretty.
These pieces turned out amazing! Do you let the paint dry between layers or do you drag the cardstock over wet layers with the next color to blend them? Not sure that question came out right..?? I love how you use paint! Super talented :0)
Smiles!

Your talent for makeovers is amazing! I love them all!

Thanks Girls!
Hi Terry - You can paint right over the wet paint. just keep layering as you go.
You are truly talented, what an eye for what works together!
Love the Duncan Phyfe chest! And a neat tip about the cardstock. I haven't tried that yet, but will have to!
Hi Melanie!
I didn't even know what type of chest of drawers it was. So glad you wrote! I love learning those things.

Beautiful furniture makeovers! You always do beautiful work. Have a great week.
I love the blue grey chest and I am super surprised how great the desk looks now!
FABULOUS! I'm glad that I clicked on your link at The Sunday Showcase Linky!
Had to take a second look! No one... and I mean NO ONE paints like you do! Sigh!
All fantastic updates, but I am really, really loving the technique on the dresser drawers. Just gorgeous!
