Shabby Chic Blue Dresser Makeover


found this petite, little lady of a dresser months ago before Lydia was born. And after about 4 months of her being here, I finally got around to refinishing it! It's depressing I don't have a "before" picture . It was a dark stained wood but pretty rough. All she needed was some milk paint to cheer her up. I used MMSMP's Eulalie's Sky as a base and Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co.'s Buttermilk and Light Cream to soften the blue. After painting, I distressed it by sanding and using a scraper. I then had Jake put a coat of polyurethane on (kept the chemicals away from baby!). It's now up for sale which is sad because I'd love keeping it. Gotta pay the bills!
