I think my point and shoot camera is dying...it's blurry 24/7.
I found it at a garage sale. The owner dropped the price by 50% without me asking...I think she knew I really wanted it and wasn't going to take it for her original price.
I used Zinsser Cover Stain oil-based primer on this one because the original finish was so smooth. I don't love oil based product because of the clean up, but they sure do wear well.
Then I used an oops paint labeled as BM Horizon Gray. I waxed with Fiddes in Stripped Pine and used gold Rub-n-Buff on the pulls. I'm really happy with the end result! Frenchy goodness!
In other news, I'm NOT loving Blogger's new updates. It took me a lot longer to write this post than normal and even though I wrote in paragraphs, it's all one huge paragraph above. What gives? Any tips?

i love it! the hardware looks SO good against that gray finish!
Really pretty Allison! Perfect combination of gray and gold! ... I'm not a fan of the changes either. My biggest problem is pictures. They load, but I can not move them around and they are a jumbled mess! I'm not having the paragraph problem, at least not yet!
I have one just like this! I might be a copy cat. This is beautifully. :)
This looks great :)as usual
I haven't had any problems with blogger; I hope I didn't jinx myself.
It's absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the paint color!
Love all French Prov and I love gray....perfect together! What i do not love is this new blogger format :)
Just beautful! Classic and perfect!
My cousin had this entire set when she was a girl and I always thought it was goofy looking, but you made it look positively chic!
Oh, my! It turned out beautiful! I've got a dresser in storage that is the same style. I have lots of hope it can be resurrected into something beautiful!

Hi! Did you sand this or put the primer right on the furniture?
