Rustic Orange Dresser

I’ve been working on this dresser for a client for about a month.

That’s way longer than I normally take to end a piece, but the first redo didn’t go quite the way we plotted so the redo finished up being redone.

Here’s the before.

The redo.

(Cringe)

And the redo, redone.

So much better!

The major conundrum I ran into was finding the right orange paint.

The original color was Masada by Benjamin Moore, a very rural orange.

The conundrum with it was that since the paint already had a lot of brown in it, the dark wax and stain I used over the distressing just made it look dirty.

So we chose a new orange, Marquis ginger, by Sherwin Williams.

At first I was concerned that it would be a small to bright, but once the stain and dark wax were place on it darkened it enough to give it the rural look we sought after.

Third times a charm right?

PS The stuffed animals used to stage the dresser where donated by Rhett. Meet Bruce the moose, Bear the bear and Cyclone the horse. They are beloved toys around our home.
