I’ve got a lovely chest of drawers to share today. I was so pleased to have this piece available for custom painting. Anna chose to have it painted in an ASCP Old Ochre mix, with a timber top and sea foam on the drawers’ interior.
I really love how it turned out. I hope Anna loves it when she sees it also. It’s always a bit scary doing pieces for custom orders in that my execution might not be what the customer expects but I suppose by now I have a good enough portfolio for customers to choose from and for them to get an understanding of my finishes.
The top looks so much better now. It was very scratched so I spent ages sanding it right back. God knows what the previous owners did on top of it to scratch it so much. 😉. I then stained it with two coats of stain (using a slip coat method) and then sealed and waxed it. Lots of sanding between coats and buffing to finish it.
Anna wanted a little fun on the inside so asked for my special sea foam green. It looks so clean and fresh.
Here’s the before photos.
I have the matching dressing table to this piece also. Beautiful long elegant legs. It’s already sold and I’ll share in a few weeks when I’m finished it.

That's lovely Fiona. What is a slip coat for the stain?
