Mid Century Blue

Happy Spring Everyone!

Spring has finally sprung here in Michigan & I, for one, am very grateful. I have way to much work piling up to wait a second longer for warmer weather. 

Now, at least for the next couple of days, I can paint in the driveway & actually work on more than one project at a time.

A few weeks ago I painted a dresser for a very nice man. He had a Mid Century Modern dresser that had been in his family for quite awhile now. Several years ago he had it painted a Dark Green color in a very glossy finish. Now he was ready for a new look.

Here is what it looked like when I brought it home:

YIKES!  SUPER SHINY

 

 

 

 

  Love the style, hate the color...

We decided on a nice Blue color that coordinated with the bedding in his bedroom.  I gave it a quick sand, with such a shiny finish I thought "Better safe then sorry".

Two coats of paint, a little distressing, two coats of wax, sprayed the hardware black...

TA DA!...

Wow!  What a difference paint can make.

He was super happy with the new look. 

 Now he's looking for the matching dresser so I can paint it Blue too.

Hope everyone has a beautiful & productive day! Thanks for visiting, Dee
