Meet Patina

We love anything with patina on it, so refinishing a dresser with that look was fitting!  We took a piece of pipe for a color match that had a gorgeous aqua patina color to it.  Needless to say the paint department looked at my grandma and I like we were crazy! But we got our color match. :)

This dresser was in sad sad shape.  Part of the leg was broken but we managed to get it repaired and you couldn't even tell where it was fixed. Sorry I have no before pictures of this beauty, oh grandma went crazy on a few pieces and started sanding and painting pieces them before I could snap some shots. I learned my lesson to get pictures when we get them!   
We almost priced this dresser 3 times higher just so it wouldn't sell but we didn't.  :)  It sold within the first hour of the market.  We love when pieces go quickly, we could have sold this one 10 times.  It was nice to see Patina go home with Lil Miss Detail.  We can't wait to do something like this again.  This is by far our favorite dresser we have refinished!  

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!  

I am working hard on our bedroom this weekend and have before and afters!
