America, America, God shed his grace on thee...
How fun it was to work on a dresser for a wonderful lady named Willie. Willie wanted a dresser done for her grandson who shares her love of Country. She said "Americana" themed and turned me loose.
In order to keep it more masculine I decided to use the same process as the Subway Art Dressers and substitute patriotic words and graphics. What do you think? Did it work?
I used American Paint Company's 'Fireworks Red' over 'Born on the 4th of July'. I used my Silhouette to create the stencils and lots of different fonts to add some interest.
The dresser was a fun one and came together quite nicely. The top was sanded and re-stained, the knobs were cleaned up and polished with dark wax. The body of the dresser was finished with clear wax and buffed to a nice sheen. Love my buffing brush!!!
And Crown thy good with Brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
Have a great week!
