I seem to come across a lot of Teak furniture. Unfortunately they’re never in good condition at all, (which might be why I get them so cheap!) The drawers on this one were all in very good working order so she just needed a little makeup.

It took a lot of sanding to mask most of the deep scratches. Of course I used my favorite Kilz Primer and then a couple of coats of Heirloom White, (which seems to be my color of choice lately). I decided to lightly distress it, but opted not to glaze it to keep the light, feminine look.

ReplyDeleteLisa, I will try again -- I love what you did with the dresser and the timing is perfect as just yesterday I pulled a similar style from someone's trash (the "before" version of yours). Now I have an "after" to aspire to. Also -- I was mentioning in my previous comment that I was going to follow you and was inviting you to do the same. I returned to my blog and saw that you had already done so. I think we're on the very same wave length. I love your style and I have a feeling that I'll be hanging out here quite a bit! You have fabulous taste
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am hosting "Saturday is Crafty Day" tomorrow and I'd love it you stopped by!
Oh WOW! LOVE, love, LOve it!!
ReplyDeleteSo elegantly lovely!..,This looks fabulous painted white and stenciled! Your simple yet elegant tablescape show it off to perfection!
ReplyDeleteCheers

Gorgeous! I love the stenciling. The stenciling makes the dresser. Fabulous makeover.
ReplyDeleteThat stencil was perfect for the shape of that dresser. The lines are so straight and the curvy stencil really softened the piece. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteWHHHHAAAT!?!? no way that is the same dresser!! okay, i believe you - and you ROCK. it's beautiful.
