chandelier dresser

 I have had this big bulky dresser in my garage for about 2 months. The heat here has finally died down a little. I started tackling the dresser and i was going to paint it in ascp but I have no vendor in az and with the break in the weather i was impatient to wait up to a week for it to come in. I follow a couple of gals who do alot of spray paint sooo I thought I would give it a try.

I used kilz primer which runs about 6 dollars a can and I used a can and a half.

this is the color before the glazing but with a little distressing

 After priming and very light sanding I used an Ivory color from krylon. The key is to go one direction in a smooth motion and letting go of the spray button at the end of the stroke. I ended up using 3 cans of the ivory and it took over two days of slowly building the color. I like the turn out of the paint.  If you take your time and slowly build color it comes out very smooth.  The only down side is even though i did it in my garage my whole house smelled of fumes for at least 2 days.

I will talk on wed about the use of stains as a antiquing agent and the ways i like to distress.
