Hi Everyone
Remember my baby dresser that I showed recently?

Circa 1969. |

This is sad. Water damage to the legs. |

Peeling wood. |

I glued the peeling part back down and clamped it while it dried. |
After taking care of business then the fun stuff began!

In the areas where I planned to distress the paint I spraypainted in silver. I had actually found the silver paint in one of the drawers. Score! |

I spray painted the whole thing in glossy black. After the paint dried I sanded the edges and corners. Doing this revealed the silver and also revealed some of the old white in places. Unintended but cool effect nonetheless. I added nickel hardware and voila. |
Now she's fit to come back in the house.
