All done....................and ready to go
Before
After
I thought stripes would look to busy on all the drawers so decided to only do the 2 top ones for a little extra detail |
love the details on the bottom |
I " wrapped " the stripes around the perimeter of the drawers |
I have never worked on a piece this solid - this will last another 200 years, definitely!
And with that I am taking a day off - nary a paint brush or sand paper - or tape will
touch my fingers for the next 24 hours..................
It's so bloody humid here that I'm sure had I used any other paint than ASCP it would
still be wet - but even with these extremely high temperatures the drying time was the same
as always - 1 hour - amazing!

LOL! I love how it turned out! It's got gorgeous handles and gorgeous details.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a day off! I love the stripes. I haven't got brave enough to try them yet. I took the day off yesterday and painted a piece this morning. You're right, the heat is a killer.
ReplyDeleteSuzan, you are AMAZING!!!! This is stunning!!!

Stunning! When will you be shipping it to me? :-) I just love it...wish I were closer.
ReplyDeleteRest...and stay cool! The humidity here is terrible too but not as bad as Houston or New Orleans.
