Modernized Dixie Nighstand
Monday, 23 April 2012
This makeover started as a dated, Dixie style nighstand. In great condition and solid wood. I think my point and shoot camera is dying...it's blurry 24/7. I found it at a garage sale. The owner dropped the price by 50% without me asking...I think she knew I really wanted it and wasn't going to take it for her original price. I used Zinsser Cover Stain oil-based primer on this one because the original finish was so smooth. I don't love oil based product because of the clean up, but they sure do wear well. Then I used an oops paint labeled as BM Horizon Gray. I waxed with Fiddes in Stripped Pine and used gold Rub-n-Buff on the pulls. I'm really happy with the end result! Frenchy goodness! In other news, I'm NOT loving Blogger's new updates. It took me a lot longer to write this post than normal and even though I wrote in paragraphs, it's all one huge paragraph above. What gives? Any tips? ~Allison
