French Numbered Dresser


I finished this dresser today and I am excited to share with you the pictures. After the repair of the piece, I base coated it in Old White so  when I distressed the piece the white would show through it. I painted the dresser in a mixture of Paris Grey, Graphite, and French Linen. I mixed the three colors together because  I was looking for a  Smokey Grey in color. I really like the way the 3 colors turned out. I then painted  diamond shapes in Old White over the holes where the dresser knobs go. I choose glass knobs so you can see the painted diamond shapes through the clear knobs. I also painted French numbers on the drawer fronts.
