Cassie of Primitive & Proper restored this lovely dresser. I removed all of the hardware, and gave the piece a very light sanding all over, but a little bit of a harder sanding on the left side to get rid of all of the marks.

This little Goodwill chest had a nasty cigarette burn on the top and the drawer fronts were adorned with random patches of glitter glue. But other than these minor flaws, it was in good, solid shape. General Finishes Antique White Milk Paint was used...

Check out this great technique by Restored By Rachel. "Reverse glazing, it's my new thing." "I wanted this Sheraton buffet to have a rustic, layered look but I still wanted it to be smooth to the touch. I sanded it down and applied 'Dark Chocolate' as a base coat.

I was sure to spare the corners and crevices so the base coat would still show and create a...
