The top is just a layer of coco chalk paint with dark wax and a good sanding to bring some of the old color through. The hardware was too “new” looking so I dry brushed them with a little french linen and then gave them a good dark wax. I love the way this turned out! I think this would be precious in a bathroom, I wish I had room in mine. This piece went to Homewood today along with some vintage gym locker baskets I found while antiquing in Roanoke,VA.
Have a great weekend! We are off to the lake to celebrate Fathers Day.
Linking to Miss Mustard Seeds FFF who just helped me with my camera settings for these shots.

Very pretty. Reminds me of a Monet water lily painting.

That is just beautiful! I'd love to hear more about the camera settings if you could share them.

Yor blog is so beautiful. I love this dresser and I haven’t seen this finish before.
Thank you Brandy! I am about to post another dresser with a really unique finish such as this one. Hoping to finish a video tutorial soon:)
Lovely patina! Such soft colours. Just lovely:-)
Love love love the dresser! What colors did you use on the body? If you don’t mind me asking.
Thanks Cortney! It is a mix of coco, old white, French linen and dark wax. All Annie Sloan:)
This is just beautiful– did you just put the paint on in layers? Or did you make a mixture of some sort? Did you paint the base one solid color before adding in all the layers of coco, old white, french linen and dark wax (and the turquoise latex… which you could use florence ASCP)? Thank you! I’d love to reproduce this finish on my kitchen table which I just did in ASCP florence with a limed effect of old white over it…. it needs to be toned down to something like this.
This is gorgeous! I would so love to see a tutorial on this piece.
