Guess what?... I found a couple new pieces to play with. A vintage Dixie chest and dresser. I like the shape of these, something a little different. It's hard to tell from the picture, but some of the drawers are curved. I'm thinking super high gloss black! Like a black lacquer look. I don't think I have painted anything black in years, other than maybe a frame or two. So it's high time. But not just black... high gloss city!!!
I'm thinking this dresser would make a neat buffet!
And end up with a finish something like this maybe... but glossier, if I can manage.

Stay tuned to see how they turn out!
When's the last time you painted something black? Have you ever? Do you a lot? What's the deal?

Can't wait to see! We painted some kids bookshelves in black with semi-gloss poly so they're pretty shiny. I've always wondered what it'd be like to paint in lacquer!

ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to paint a side table black, with maybe some decoupage on the top. Haven't tried to do anything like that yet. We'll see how it comes out.
