Princess Grace Dresser (Before & After)

Meet Grace!

Princess Grace Dresser (After)

Here’s what the dresser looked like before:

And this is how the top looked:

This was a great, Lexington dresser in classic white. The before was fine, but she needed a little love and a little glitz.

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Emile for this piece.  What girl doesn’t love purple?  Growing up I had Laura Ashley lilac wall paper and this would have looked amazing with it!  Anyway, I did a few coats of Emile with my lovely Annie Sloan paint brush.  Once it was dry, I distressed around the drawers and on the edges.

I applied Annie Sloan clear wax to seal the entire piece. I added some of Miss Mustard Seed’s Antiquing Wax to the distressed areas and around the edges and I love the look it gave the piece.

Well, here’s how Princess Grace looks all dolled up:

I love the molding details:

The knobs are my favorite.  They are Mercury Glass knobs from Anthropologie and sparkle in all light:

I also really love the turned feet.

This one is just so pretty!  Do you know a girl who would love it for her room?  Grace is currently looking for her forever home, perhaps one with many tea parties and princess attire.
