Loving Red ... part 2

I just finished painting a piece for a friend, this dresser was in sad condition. My before pictures are really after a lot of repair had been done but I didn't have any pictures of it in that state. Well, here are my before pic.


 The sides of this piece were badly damaged and it was missing a lot of its handles



I debated  with myself as to what color to paint it, I researched a lot of painted dressers so as to get an idea of what color would look best. Mustard, or yellow ocher, was a close contender but the owner of the dresser felt the same as I did, Red ...paint it red...so here re the pictures of the finished product.
 


                                                               First coat of paint...                                                     
   



 Second coat of paint and the piece was distressed and aged a bit.

 Finished piece all ready to go to its new home. I managed to find a few handles that were close to the ones that were original to this piece ...
however, I was short two so I had some grosgrain ribbon and I called it into duty for the top drawer, it can easily be removed when they find handles they like. 

Well that's all for this time,so

From my porch to yours...

Have a blessed week...

Today's verse: Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
