When I get pressed for time, the last thing I need to do is paint an item twice.
Well that is exactly what I did.
Here’s the dresser I snagged. It’s very dated, so I decided to go with Annie Sloan Florence.
It is pretty bright and a bit ‘70’s looking, so out came the wax.
You can see the difference – the bottom is not waxed.
I have to say after all that work, I didn’t like it. Can’t say why, but it just wasn’t doing it for me.
Now this is where I start to lose my mind!
I painted her all black and then distressed, using a new technique.
The aqua color comes through and in spots so does the wood.
Numbered drawer pulls finish her off.
Chippy and a bit funky.
People love the beat up, funky finish. I just created it with a bunch of different techniques. Arriving at Heritage shortly.

Worth the extra work - and the blue showing through due to the distressing makes the entire piece.
I agree with you - the blue just did not seem to work but the black with the blue showing through is fabulous! Good job!
turned out really good! the black makes a huge difference, good call! and i just love the drawer pulls!!
Oh, I will check her out. Love all those pieces.
