A PROVINCIAL PAIR nightstand and hiboy

Rabu, 27 April 2016

Right now George is working countless hours running his business and doing deliveries,
which intern giving me extra time to work on painting guilt free.
This hiboy and nightstand are one of the latest projects that have been completed.
Id like to say it was a simple redo, and in simple terms it was.
No repairs were needed.
However it did take countless hours to pianted both pieces in Old White
Then wax both pieces, removing the excess as I went along.
Then washed them in thinned out Graphite chalk paint and remove the excess.
Wax and polish every inch of the dresser and table again.
Once all that was done,
I hand painted each handle with Graphite chalk paint highlighting the girly curves.
The final step was to prep the arborite tops with a primer.
Wrap the body in plastic and get them outside before spraying the top in a glossy black.

MODERN CONVENIENCE french provincial 4 drawer dresser

George has loved this dresser for quite some time but alas,
if you love something you must set it free. 
It was painted in old white and distressed to give it more age than it actually has.
We had bought both this dresser and a matching desk,
when we moved in together.
The desk was painted and sold long ago, (stop pouting Elinor)
But in the last few months once it was clear it was going to have to find a new home
the dresser became another victim to Chalk Paint.
This dresser has pretty provincial handles and the modern convenience of roller drawers.

French Provincial Make over

 So I found this beat up set off of, where else???  CL.  
These little numbers are pretty hot items around here now. I'm
always on the lookout for someone who just wants to get rid
of it and not hassle w/the selling process. 
Behold this awesome beauty....... 
I know, right??? On the positive side, it was solid wood dove tailed drawers. 
Other than the grease, grime, filth, OMG contact paper and chipping paint, it was in good shape!
I wanted to try something different on this set.  
       Taking my inspiration from Beth over at SawdustandEmbryos, 
I decided to try her staining technique. 
I stripped the top using my Soy gel stripper and sanded with 80,150 and 220. 
                                   First, I drew out some flower petal designs using chalk.
                     Then, I gathered my tools and stain and spent the next 4-5 hours "staining".
I won't go into too much detail because I pretty much went by what Beth did.
Mine looks a lot more "blended" then hers.  It all depends on what final look you are going for.
I used a very small brush to outline the petals so I could keep the lines of the petals separate from
 the neighboring one.  It's not as difficult as it looks. Just a little time consuming.
But I love doing stuff like this. 
      I used Varathane's "Kona" and "Weathered Gray" and some "Red mahogany" thrown in there too.
I love the way the stain turns out when you use it like paint!  This was kind of an experiment. I figured
if it didn't turn out well, I could just paint over the top.  The wood on top of this dresser wasn't exactly
