My First Ombre’

Photo Nov 06, 10 17 31 PM

I scored a find at Goodwill recently for ten bucks!

The lines were sleek, mid-century inspired, and the drawers were PERFECT. I had been waiting to find a piece where the drawers had no trim, no detail, and seemed to flow into one another. 

A perfect candidate for ombre.

After some filling and sanding, the paint went on quickly.  One coat of primer over everything.  Then two coats of white semi-gloss on the legs and “shell”.

I was in a thrifty mood so all my materials were improvised.  I found four unfinished wood pulls in my stash of hardware.  And I took the white paint I used on the body and  added portions of black paint to it to create the three degrees of gray that worked for me.

I painted each knob the same shade of gray that was on that particular drawer.

I think I’m happy with the results!
