It all started with our trip to Florida during Spring Break, when I was on my way to the beach and I stopped over at my nephews house to bring him his new pillows
and his table
Noticing that his place was a bit under furnished in his living space, I suggested that he take a dresser that he was not utilizing out of his bedroom and turn it into a entertainment cabinet.
I applied two coats of the paint , and roughed up the edges
Accessorized with the only two things I could find in the apartment ( I need to work on that)
Then went to the beach!

I bet he likes the graphite paint. Pretty!
It looks great! Love the shape.
I'm impressed that you painted right on the rug!
It looks amazing - guess single guys don't put much energy into buying accessories. Maybe he has some empty beer bottles lying around that you could repurpose!

Lucky nephew! Maybe I could stop by my bachelor brother's and do the same thing? It would avoid me painting every piece of furniture in our house:)

It looks fantastic! I love the finished look.
Lovely results! Love the color!
Hi Laura,
A world of different paint makes. I love it.
Dee
wow, he should be thrilled. :)
Hi Laura. That dresser/media cab came out so nice! I bet he loves that color. Great idea! I have to ask, do you sand before you wax? I love that you paint in place (i make such a mess to do that). Was wondering if you sand in place too. Sure beats moving the pieces in and out of the garage.
Thanks! Beth
You've got to be so pleased with that graphite I love it! I love that little boat on top too!
Fabulous Laura - I think i've said it before, but your nephew is a luck, lucky guy!!
Thanks for sharing at Simply Klassic!
Wow, that looks great in that colour!
I am not sure what kind of paint you used? Is ASCP grafite a brand or a color? what did you use to rough it up with? What kind of wax do you recommend? thank you
