The color is a mix of three grey oops paints from Home Depot. I made them into chalk paint and painted away in a fabric weave technique. The top is stained with Minwax Ebony and everything is finished with Minwax Wipe-On Poly in Satin.

Gray Gray Gray
I was reading about a fabric weave painting technique and thought this would be the best dresser to test it on. I had recently obtained a few oops paints in different shades of gray so that is what I used. To do the fabric weave technique pour small amount of three colors side by side, dip your brush in all three, and brush back and forth to accomplish the weave. I really like how it turned out and it has nice deep drawers which is my favorite type of dresser.

- Growing up we never realized that we could make or change our furniture. Now that we are old and grown..ha..we realized that you can do anything you want to do. We like finding an old battered piece of furniture and seeing what we can make of it. We find joy in the journey and love seeing our pieces go to someone who loves them. Our house is slowly changing to whatever we want it to be and we are loving seeing the transformation.
