Another Verdigris Dresser

In case you haven't noticed, I love a good detailed nine-drawer dresser. If I see one on Craigslist for a good deal, I must have it. I loved all the layers and detailing each drawer had on this dresser. I really love to bring out the carving of furniture but I didn't want this one to feel too busy. I've been dying to make another verdigris dresser but was waiting for the perfect piece.



I did a few things differently on this one. I hate doing the exact same thing twice, I like to explore my creativity. I used a diffferent base metallic spray paint and even used 2 different chalk paint colors than last time. I left out the gesso/Old White step to give a more vibrant color and I did much more distressing than the last piece.




If you haven't seen my last dresser or tutorial, check it out on my most popular posts in the right sidebar.

This beautiful dresser and nightstand will be for sale, so contact me if you're interested.

    I love it! I think that painting furniture such as this is a great way to recycle!

    This turned out just fabulous...wish I had the patience to do a big project like this. Maybe, someday I'll tackle a piece...for now I'll stick to small and easy!
    Will be following you, now to see what else you have done and will do!
