French Jute Dresser

Well with Halloween parties and costume shopping and decorating oh my, I’ve been running crazy.  But I picked up this dresser at a garage sale across the street from the kids school a few weeks back.  I used some of my homemade chalk paint it in a color as close to the ASCP Paris Grey as I could manage.  You can read all about that experience over at Type A Decorating.  It turned out so cute. 

However when I first finished painting it seems very flat.  Like primer.  It just had absolutely no depth.  So I used another color I tried mixing to match the duck egg.  A little bluer and lighter but still very pretty.  The grey and the blue/green went so well together! 

Something in the room was throwing off the colors in my photo’s so excuse that some look grey and some look taupe!  They are grey.  I wish I had taken some even closer up so you could really see the words but it sold faster than I could get a good quality photo shoot with it.

I wrapped the ugly brown knobs in jute.  I wasn’t sure after the first one if I was going to like it but it really added the texture that it needed since it was such a flat piece.  Apparently I’m not the only who thought so!  It was gone in four days.

 

 

Hope everyone has a great Halloween weekend and don’t forget to go link up to the VIP party!
