I finished up my Union Jack dresser today!!
It went much smoother & faster than I anticipated.
After I finished, I kept catching myself going back to it over & over just to look at it. Haha!
So, here's ol Jack:
He's not perfect but, then again, who is? Right?
=)
Here are a few of my progress pictures:
The BEFORE:
I'm thinking of writing a step by step tutorial.
i think this was the perfect dresser for that treatment- it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cassie!
DeleteYou did a great job! I love Union Jack dressers! I do the same thing with ours: I go back for a second and a third look!
ReplyDeleteHaha! My husband looks at me like I'm crazy! Thank you!
DeleteOh, please write a tutorial! I kept looking at the taping and going huh? she taped what first? I;m kinds slow sometime :) I've always wanted to try this but have felt hat it was way out of my skill set. On a 1-10, how difficult was it?
ReplyDeleteI love it by the way!!!
Over from Crafty, Scrappy, Happy.
I would say it was about 4 on the difficulty scale. After I figured out the best way to tape off it went really well. It was much easier than I thought it would be- but I didn't do a whole lot of measuring- I eyeballed everything. If you want to shoot me an email at Simplysalvagedrestoration@gmail.com I'd be happy to give you a step by step (I took pics!!). Thanks!!
DeleteWow. Great job! The Jack is next to do on my bucket list! Question,,,,When you sanded (did u use chalk paint??) the red next to the white areas, did the white turn pink??? just curious how you did that part. Thanks! Beth
ReplyDeleteI didn't use chalk paint- just regular ol latex. I didn't have any problems when I sanded over the white and red- I distressed the edges first and wore my paper out a little- then, went back and distressed over the paint. I think it dried about 3 hours before I started distressing though.
DeleteGood luck with yours!
gotta love some paint and painter's tape! You did a fabulous job on this Union Jack chest of drawers.
