Beachy Blue Makeover for and Old Pair

I was contacted by a lady to redo some of her furniture.  It was some stuff she had gotten when first married and has since upgraded her own set.  Still being in great shape she wanted a fresh new look for these dressers so she could still keep them and use them in her daughter's bedroom.  The little girl was thinking a "Beachy" look in a pretty shade of blue.  This is what I came up with.  Enjoy!

I couldn't decide what to do with this little dresser until I saw this fantastic paper at the craft store. 
 I loved the antique-iness that the paper already had.  Old news ads..layered old typewriter font.. just really Cool!

I've had this piece done for several weeks now & was just waiting for the Vintage-Looking glass knobs that I like to use on the Antique-Makeovers to get it in.  I was at the store today & they finally restocked! .. I snatched up every one of these & quickly rushed home to put together the finished look.  So Excited to share...

Painted the sides in a Chalky distressed Black.  The the drawer fronts so much Character that the plain white sides looked just that...Plain.

Nothing is Normal or Easy with any Make-Over that I do.  Every piece has "baggage" and some problems I have to troubleshoot and this one was no different.  The dresser was old & needed lots of cleaning up so I painted the drawers inside & OUT.  I slide the nice clean drawers back in their place, anxious to see the progress & guess what??.. STUCK!!  I finally got them all out & because they slide wood-on-wood I took my trusty side kick (Power Sander) & zipped all the paint off, then waxed all those spots by rubbing canning/jelly wax that you can get at the grocery store.  I am happy to report that all that worked!

Chippy distressed top with accent piece along back to tie in the sides.

This chest was so stunning all around that it called for a Brocade Medallion hand-painted in metallics!

This piece came with shiney brass drawer pulls.  I went through my box of salvaged goodies and put together miss-matched vintage relics with a time-worn rusty patina.  They just add even more character to the piece making it look worldly & traveled.

Brushed gold details

I didn't know how I was going to make-over this piece until I found beautiful Vintage-Looking Paper at the local hobby store. It has a wonderful aged appearance with browned distressed edges along with fading & yellowing that comes with age.  I loved the pretty floral scroll design of the paper as well.

Three separate pieces across each drawer front added much character & the illusion of more little drawers.  I carefully glued each in place and pressed out any bubbling.  After completely dry I added a layer of varnish to protect the paper and seal down the edges.

This beauty was completely cleaned up & needed paint inside & out for a thorough makeover. Drawers were painted on all sides including underneath & back.
The "Love" stenciling was appropriate on the inside drawers of this piece because it needed alot of it for it's restoration. 

The soft pink paint was gently distressed & sealed with a tinted French Wax to collect in the crackles to further highlight it's age and protect its wonderful French Finish.

6 wonderful knobs adorn this Vintage beauty. 
They have a Hazey-Aged Glass look & are a perfect addition since it did not come with any hardware at all!
