That's fab Mary Poppins!! I love what some of our 'girls' have done on here - paint it white and leave the countertop part natural wood.

Lol, 7/7/08 was when I was doing my dresser.... and I've not progressed any of my other projects since!

Well done on that dresser top. I'd still recommend the same - use the same paint for the base but leave the top stripped bare and oiled or waxed

I went for the water based eggshell, twas quite nice to work with LOL BM3

Annie do you think even on a really orangy piney bottom the top would look alright unpainted, sanding really isn't my speciality and wondered if one does the unpainted waxed look on their dressers does it have to be quite good solid wood if you know what I mean, maybe it would help if I took a photograph of the bottom and you shall see what I mean
