Mahogany Make Over

This little jewel was purchased from a friend who bought it at an auction.  I’m rather thrifty, and don’t usually pay this much for furniture ($140)…but it was in excellent condition.  The only problem I had was deciding what color to paint it – even though it looked great as it was.
This was the before pic – a very stately piece.
And the after, with a coat of paris grey/old white mix, then clear wax and a teeny bit of dark wax to highlight.  I think I might add some old white to the detailing on the drawer and doors – it needs a little something.  I distressed the edges slightly with a sanding sponge.






I hope everyone is ready for the holidays.  Merry Christmas from Southern Junk Chic!! :)
