Campaign Style Tallboy


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 Napoleonic 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.
