GRAPHITE AND GOLD FARMHOUSE DRESSER

I found this little oak dresser at a thrift store.  It is really very, very old and a true vintage find.  What was funny about it was the very fancy gold drawer pulls and keyholes on each drawer.  I have never seen such glam on an old oak piece!

I decided to have fun.  I first applied a coat of General Finishes Somerset Gold as a base color.  I then applied a coat of Annie Sloan Graphite and decided to break out my stencils.  I used Louis Blue with a pretty flower pattern.  The very gold pulls were toned down with a touch of Graphite and the gold accents tied it all together.  The whole piece was then heavily distressed to give it back its age and give it true farmhouse vibe.  I love how the distressing really highlights the old paneled sides.  The drawers were lined in blue striped paper and the whole piece was sealed with Artisan Enhancements clear topcoat sealer.
