Suzy from Simply Vintageous has made it her mission to rehab old furniture. This dresser is one of her most recent pieces, painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Pain in Old White and Paris Gray.
She says, I am torn about whether I should just paint it all white to be honest with you – this one definitely did not speak to me as loudly as they usually do – for the most part as soon as I look at a dresser it
screams out at me (I have to tell it to keep its voice down) what it wants me to do – but this one
kind of whispered – “Do whatever you want, I don’t care” so I did – and am second guessing myself
daily on it.

Suzy! Don’t second-guess yourself! It’s fantastic! I think you just misheard the dresser. What it was trying to say is “Do whatever you want (as long as you paint me gray!) I don’t care (about anything else besides going to live at Lindsey’s house! You should send me to her!) Yep, pretty sure that’s how it went.

April 4, 2012 at 4:52 PMOh Lindsay thanks so much for the feature!!! I am honored – so is the dresser, she is finally speaking!
I just heard her whisper ” I’m featured? OMG – Thank you ” ) she’s kind of strutting now, lol
For anonymous – I used ASCP and waxed it after.
Have a good one all!
Hugs.
