Teal Diamonds


This is the first of a three dresser set I did for Radical Recycling.  These are used as display pieces in the store.  They arrived to me freshly sprayed in teal ready to add some style.

I did some light sanding.  These dressers were particle board and laminate surfaces with wood drawers.  I "white washed" with a diluted silver.  Then distressed using a pitch black gel stain and a tea stain.

I added diamonds in a bluish gray to the top and then sanded again to add some years of teen age love.  The knobs were sand blasted and turned out a mixed metal finish which worked perfect.





You can see the other two dressers in this trio, here.  

I have been wanting a blue diamond ring since we went on a cruise a few years ago.  Long story short, dear hubby was over served at Senior Frogs and we never made it to the jewelry stores in the Bahamas...Well hubby says I got my wish, just not in the form I was expecting...not sure that's too funny.




Here it is in the store.  Tune in tomorrow for the other two teals.  One is peaking out in the picture above.



Have a great one!
