Antique Dresser in Pumpkin

I picked up this great, not-so-little antique dresser a couple of weeks ago.  I've been doing a lot of black and white so I wanted to do something a little off-beat with it.  I had a girl ask if I had a dresser, I said I did, and she told me to do whatever I wanted with it.  I told her I wanted to do a pumpkin color and she said to go for it.  Yea! Love when that happens!! :)

Before

It was already in good condition except for the veneer on the bottom drawer. 

Before you take a peek at the after you have to know I didn't sleep very well after I painted this one.  I've never painted anything this color and I was so worried she wouldn't like it!  Before I showed it to her I told her I would be happy to paint it again if she wasn't happy with it, and when she saw it she said, "Why?  What's wrong with it?  I love the color!"  Needless to say, I was so happy! :)

After

Ok, so  seriously, pictures never do a color justice.  This color has a lot of depth to it in person and I absolutely love it with the distressing. 

Is it weird that this makes my heart beat just a little faster? lol  I adore it.

great feet!

These spindles are to die for, and are my absolute favorite part about this dresser.  I love the warmth and the softness of the wood (especially with this color).

This is a better shot of what the color really looks like. 

She may not be for everybody, but I love it!

SOLD

p.s.  I asked her what her husband was going to say and she says, "He won't know...he's color blind!"  (He really is color blind...lol!!)

Stain as glaze = Dark Walnut by Minwax
