Mary Beth's Place has named this lovely 12 drawer Dixie dresser "The Princess Charlotte Dresser" in honor of the new royal baby. The body and top was painted in General Finishes Snow White, and the sides were painted in Antoinette (ASCP).

I used a measuring tape to determine the width of the stripes, taped off the stripe lines with Frog Tape, and then painted...

The body is a mix of General Finishes Milk Paint colors: Linen, Millstone and a splash of...

The drawers got 2 fresh coats of GF Java Gel Stain and the top, legs and handles received 3 coats of Snow White Milk Paint. The entire piece was sealed with High Performance...
