My grey beauty

This is a dresser I am shooting myself for not taking a before picture.
I started this dresser, thinking, "White.  It's gotta' be white.  The handles are so beautiful, white will make them pop the most."
Then I changed my mind after talking to my sister.  It made me sick to paint over the white.  I thought, "If this is a mistake, I am going to be sick."
At this point, I actually already had a buyer for the dresser and she wanted grey for her sons room.  I took a picture.

I did use chalk paint on this dresser however, because of the detail on the top.
I finished with a normal indoor paint that I had used to rag paint my living room.
After the same process as the French style dresser... (see that blog post for specifics)
The below dresser was born.  Well, reborn.





 He is much happier gray.  :)  If I didn't already have a buyer for the dresser when it was done, I would have kept it.  I miss him already.
