Robin's Egg Blue Dresser

I saw this dresser at our Salvation Army, but as happens all too often the original price was just outrageous!  A couple weeks later it was still there, and I was suprised to see it had been marked WAAAAY down into my price range!

I sanded it and repaired missing areas of veneer with my KwikWood epoxy putty.

You can find it at Home Depot!

After that I gave it a quick coat of Kilz~

I headed to Sherwin Williams and they mixed up a Home Depot color for me~"Embellished Blue."

The dresser got a heavy distressing around the edges with my sander, and then I brushed on the darkest brown RL Glaze, "Tobacco."

For the finish, I wiped on a couple coats of Minwax Wipe On Poly.

The original knobs were gold. And ugly. 

I found these glass knobs at a vintage shop near my house that I used for the top knobs~

For the bottom drawers I just fixed up some of these wooden knobs to match the rest of the dresser.

Remember how the dresser looked before?

So much better now~
