A Dixie French Provincial Dresser Makeover by Vintage Charm Restored

This beautiful solid wood Dixie French Provincial Dresser has had a gorgeous makeover… Sometimes my pieces have to sit a while.  And this one finally spoke to me.  All the details what would I do?

American Paint Company truly makes a wonderful paint.  I have been so impressed with the coverage and the consistency.  I love using it.  It is a bit creamier straight from the can, but I just pour it in my little bowl add a touch of water and it’s perfect!! That my friends means you are getting the most product for your money!! Adding water to thin it a bit means there’s still a lot left in that quart!! And that’s making me a happy girl.  But I digress… I used Surfboard.  I could just stop with that, but I decided to add Home Plate in also for a small accent color.  I also used Modern Masters Warm Silver.  And dark wax to pull out the green undertones.  You may have noticed a time or two that this color is one of my favorites.  And it’s the perfect aqua if you just use a straight clear wax or top coat.  Love Love!!

Enjoy!!

  1. Lori, the dresser is gorgeous! I do love that Surfboard color- I think it would be perfect for so many different projects! The sides of the drawers add the perfect little pop to this dresser- loving them, and the whole thing. I’ll have to check out the shop next time I’m in McKinney! 🙂

    Absolutely beautiful finish & details, Lori! I will have to try American Paint Co. products. That is fantastic that they are zero VOC, etc. I work in McKinney, so I will have to check out your display one of these days…

  4. I absolutely love it Lori. The paper on the drawers is over the top cool! That is a lot of work girl.

      Hi Dee,

      I do not sell the silver Modern Masters Metallic paint- you can purchase that online on Amazon. I use Oyster and Warm Silver a lot.
      But you are absolutely welcome to purchase the American Paint colors from me here- https://vintagecharmrestored.com/welcome-to-the-vintage-charm-restored-store

      Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you. Lori

      {I sent this by email as well.}
