A Before and After With Fusion Mineral Paint in Sterling

/


I know I say this like it’s my mantra, OK maybe it is, but I am continually amazed at what a little paint can do!
Check out this before and after of a beautiful vintage dresser.  1980s-dresser-before-being-paintedThis dresser was in excellent condition, so there was no need to discard it, but it was obviously quite out-dated.  The gold hardware and slightly, too orange colour screamed 1980s.  fusion mineral paint and a paint brush Grey is a hot and trendy colour right now so I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Sterling (which I love because it has a top coat build right in!)…vintage-broyhill-dresser-painted-grey  gave it some new brushed silver hardware… fusion-mineral-paint-dresser-sterlingand this piece of sturdy furniture, that was still completely useful, is brought into this century.  silver-hardware-vintage-dresserIt has now become an incredibly versatile piece that could be used as a gorgeous dresser, a sideboard with tons or storage or even an elegant TV stand.  vintage-finds-painted-dresser new-hardware-vintage-dresserA little paint, a little time and a little vision can turn any outdated piece into a modern and stylish creation.  vintage-dresser-fusion-paint-sterlingCheck out some more make over using Fusion Mineral Paint…

      Isn’t it such a pretty colour of grey? I haven’t used grey very much in the past but I have quickly fallen in love with it 🙂
