New obsession?

 When my daughter saw the subway dresser she wanted one ( all 3 of my children do, actually ) and because she is in love with all things British she got this version - my son suggested putting the flag on top -




She wanted the colors of the flag for the lettering- not sure how crazy I am about them - I would have preferred neutral colors I think but she loves it -
And if it's good enough for my daughter...........................
then it's good enough for me!
Unfortunately I do not have the before ( simply cannot find the photo ) but I used the same technique as I used for my Subway Dresser HERE

running out of ASCP

I am running very very low on my supplies - little bits left in the bottom of the tins, certainly not enough to paint a whole dresser with 2 coats so this is how I used them up






just finished waxing it so the handles wills have to wait until tomorrow - and pls excuse that pitiful staging photo - talk about desperately just grabbing the first things on hand lol - which is exactly what I did - come on Owl, you'll do ( not - looks lost the poor thing )

this piece makes me smile - doesn't it look cheerful? I think it looks like Spring personified and makes me wish I had a summer cottage, badly.
Oh the furniture I could redo for a little place by the lake........................

Paint colors are Country Grey, Paloma, Duck Egg Blue and White ( pure white - not the old white )
No sanding - no distressing - just frog tape and paint

Oh almost forgot the before photo!!!




Have a good one all
