"Paris" chest of drawers

This piece was a great find!  My love and I were out checking the local yard sales  and came across a house that had this in the driveway with a sign that said Free!  Yippee!  I pretty much ran over there to get it before anyone else saw it. 


She needed a little work. I completely sanded down the top. 


And decided to paint her in General Finishes Seagull Gray Milk Paint and do some accents in a custom mix of GF Lamp Black mixed with Modern Masters Metallic Pewter. 




The color turned to be a shimmery black. 

I then cleaned the hardware and added pewter guilding wax. 


I added a Paris stencil to the top. 

A floral stencil motif was added to the drawer fronts and I painted the drawer sides/stenciled for extra cuteness!  



She was sealed using General Finishes Top Coat in Satin.  

Tada!!!
