I just love doing little girls bedroom furniture.
Most recently I did an "Eloise" style piece for a client. To be quite honest, it was my first attempt at striping. Thanks to a little help by the new Scotch Blue tape with Edgelock it worked out quite nicely.
The client wanted a pink and white striped chest for her little girls room just like at the Eloise Store.
She picked out this dresser from my inventory.
She picked out this dresser from my inventory.
I painted the dresser completely in Rustoleum Heirloom white, then waited a few days to make sure the paint was completely dry. The next step was to start the taping process. I did not measure because I like the randomness of imperfection. I then painted the dresser with Rustoleum Raspberry.
I carefully pulled off the tape and finished it off with some knobs the client picked up from Van Dykes.
The sides are striped too
and I even finished it off by lining the drawers with a pretty paper.
