I found this vintage, campaign style dresser at a recent yard sale. I love the size, shape, and especially the hardware on this piece.
I forgot to take a picture before removing the hardware, but at least I remembered before I started painting. When I found the tallboy, it had a two-toned look with faux wood grain drawers and black sides.
After two coats of Napoleanic Blue Chalk Paint, it looks like a brand new piece. I love the bold colors on campaign style furniture and this rich blue is no exception. I think the brass hardware really pops against this brilliant blue too.
I painted the interior of all the drawers with Arles Chalk Paint for a fun burst of color inside.
I applied Annie Sloan clear wax over the paint and did extra buffing, so it has a little shine.

Oh my gosh- growing up, we had the matching desk that goes with this dresser! I got rid of it about 10 years ago... bummer!!! Nice transformation :)
One of the best Campaign dressers I have ever seen! Great job!
Your dresser came out great. Don't you just love how paint can transform a piece! Laura
