Loving this Stanley Furniture Company nine-drawer dresser finished by The Distressed Gentleman. Painted in General Finishes Linen Milk Paint and sealed with High Performance Topcoat in Satin.
I love this piece, and I especially love that it sold in less than 24 hours. The body was painted in my favorite gray, Queenstown Gray Milk Paint, with High Performance Topcoat in Satin for the perfect shine. For added contrast I stained the middle drawer and the top in Java Gel Stain. One of my favorite pieces to date.

This was the difficult part because the caulk application...
