I got a call a few days ago from Lucketts It’s a great call, but an “oh crap” kind of call, too. Both of my large furniture pieces had sold, so I needed to get some furniture into my space ASAP. I decided to sell a little wash stand I’ve had for a few years and I finally started working on the empire dresser I had in my basement for a while. Here’s how it turned out…
Here’s the before…
The wood on the front was really beautiful, but the sides had been painted, so I didn’t feel a lot of remorse about painting this piece. (Do I ever?) I layered French Enamel over Flow Blue and used a bit of trickery between to get some clear definition between the coats.
Can you tell I’m a little in love with the finish? Yeah, I am. I’ll share more about the technique in a few days.
Here’s the tutorial on the technique I used for this dresser. You can also find detailed “recipes” for other layered looks HERE.
