I was having Sunday dinner at my mom's house when she told me that we have Craigslist here in Canada. Im embarassed to admit I thought it was only an American thing. Oops. So I decided to have a gander at it to see if I could find anything interesting. Turns out that my local Craislist is pretty quiet on the furniture front, BUT I did come across one fantasitc piece. It was a vintage Malcolm Funiture Co. French dresser. LOVE!
I picked it up and painted the body in Pure White ASCP, and I stained the top in Dark Walnut, I did a little bit of distressing and love how it turned out!
The 'before' picture looks great, but in reality all of the varnish was peeling off, so I didn't feel bad when I painted it.

I loved doing this piece. I had a vision that of a muted grey with a lovely diamond (harlequin) top. I was inspired to use the diamond top by Crystal at THESHABBIESTCHICK and am so happy with the results.
It has found its way as a feature piece in an expectant mother's nursery which makes me very happy.
I customed mixed the grey and used white ASCP for the diamonds. I then gave everything a good distressing and a coat of clear wax.
