Aubergine Spring Dresser
Welcome to my new website, Suzanne Bagheri Designs! Most of you know me from my previous website, The Painted Drawer. That site became so bogged down with issues that it was impossible to fix them all and I decided to start fresh with a new, more streamlined and modern site.
I hope you follow along for tips and fun projects using paint and imagination!
Aubergine Spring Dresser
This was a fantastic spring makeover for this dated and dark dresser! Here is the “before”…
I used Dixie Belle chalk mineral paint in colors Aubergine and Plum Crazy to create the look. I also used something quite new to me, which are transfers. They are SO FUN. And, so easy! Here is a video on how to use the transfers. In the video, I apply them onto flower pots and seal them with Dixie Belle Gator Hide for a super durable finish that will withstand the elements.
For this dresser, I cut the transfers out and applied them along the sides. I then added a wash of the Plum Crazy to soften the look before lightly distressing the whole piece. It was then waxed in clear wax and I added a clear coat in flat on the top for extra protection.
Thanks for watching!
