Remember this dresser? ( where John feared for his life picking it up? )

CAUTION: Heavy photo content!

sorry you have to twist your head - I keep fixing it and it keeps showing up on it's side

Well I was going to try to match it to this one that I had painted for my bedroom -

And it turned out like this

B - O - R
I - N - G
you need
personality
( can you picture the pom poms? I would have made a great cheerleader )

for some reason it does not look as nice as the dresser I wanted to " mate " it with ( so they could create little end tables ha ha ) that rope trim was screaming for some work so I started distressing it

very gingerly at first - and then I got a little braver

hmmm, not feeling it yet at all

the white looks too pristine - and so I distressed some more..................

at this point I am thinking I should have just left the whole thing alone -
I ended up adding waxing with clear wax and dark wax and still it was missing something.
I still had a little duck egg blue and old white which I mixed with some water and dry brushed
the combination until it looked like this
