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 1930’s.  What a gorgeous piece – 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 Sloan’s Old Violet with clear and dark waxes applied!
