Old Violet Love
I purchased this lovely dresser from a woman who was downsizing and needed to sell a few large pieces. It was originally her grandmothers and is likely from the 1930βs. What a gorgeous piece β dovetail drawers, beautiful hardware, curves galore and solid wood all around. Just lovely.
After refinishing the top, I decided to go with chalk paint for the body. I knew that with distressing and waxing, the details of the curves would show through.
Here it is all done in Annie Sloanβs Old Violet with clear and dark waxes applied!
