Texture and Script

I'm super busy packing for my show this weekend, but I wanted to share a quick post on one of my recent makeovers.



Here is the before.


I wanted a thick, slightly imperfect paint finish.  I added layers of paint and texture, blue ledger paper to the drawer front, and changed the hardware.









Gotta go.  See ya soon.

    That before was really ugly. I would not have thought that it could have been saved, but your after is stunning. I love the script - really nice touch.
