Meet Josephine, the dresser

Meet Josephine, the dresser.  Josephine is shy, probably because she was neglected (of course I forgot to take "before" photos) and left to age in peace.  But her beautiful knobby legs, detailed hardware and dovetailed workmanship was not to be ignored.  She just needed a little extra love and paint to brighten her life.


Josephine was painted with Annie Sloan Antique White chalk paint, distressed lightly, and waxed for a beautiful sheen.  The top was stripped, sanded, stained, and sealed with multiple coats of dark wax.  Since she was missing a knob, clear pulls were replaced on the top drawer and the rest of the original hardware was painted, distressed, and waxed.


Josephine will be waiting for you at her new home:  Robin's Egg 326 Nashua St., 101A, Milford, NH.

Have a beautiful day,



Debbie
