yesterday, i completed the dresser that i told you guys about. tasha knew exactly what she wanted, so it was easy for me!
first, i painted the whole thing a creamy white. then, i made a small diamond-shaped stencil, and drew the pattern all over the flat panels of the piece.
after that, i placed the tape on each diamond. this took soooo very long, my friends! i've only done large-scale harlequin patterns on walls, so this was a bit more time-consuming.
looks pretty cool, though, huh?
on the left side, you'll see where i did a thin coat of the white again, on top of the tape, so that the grey wouldn't bleed through the tape.
and, done. i did a good bit of distressing on it, and love the way it complements the geometric harlequin pattern.
very french, no? she will be buying new hardware - probably glass knobs.
cute little legs - i love the small casters.

and, i'm off to paint another dresser and a chair today! talk to you cats soon. have a great weekend!
Wow! I think this is my favorite piece of yours. I am really wanting to find a piece to do harlequins on! What a lot of work, but so worth it!

ReplyDeleteyou are incredible! how do you do it? i wish i could take something so worn out and make it look so fantastic.
ReplyDeletewhen you paint furniture do you paint the insides and drawers too? that's a TON of work. i have a dresser i'm doing and not sure if i need to touch the insides.
can't wait to see more makeovers.
Ooh la la:) It is great! Those diamonds though- geesh what a headache to tape! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteA business related question- when you quote a job- do you charge an hourly rate for your labor or by the job?
Looks fantastic! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteamazing.........so much work. looks great!
ReplyDeleteM would want that piece if it were for sell.
Wow looks great! Do you have any old posts on how to's for painting - for example do you sand and prime, do you spray or use a brush etc.. Love your work!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good tip about painting white over the tape. Thanks! Nice work, your design really brings out the great lines in the dresser.
