I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight ringing in 2015! A Happy New Year to you all and all the best for the year to come! Thank you so much for making 2014 a great year for The Painted Drawer. I have great expectations for 2015 and am excited to get it going! First let’s say goodbye to 2014 with my favorite piece and favorite post!
Number 1: The Florence Dresser
There are many reasons why I made this my top choice. It was a very difficult project and took me in many directions before it all came together. I used Annie Sloan Florence and General Finishes glaze in Van Dyke Brown to create the look. I originally applied the glaze directly onto the chalk paint – HUGE mistake! I learned that applying glaze directly onto chalk paint creates a very streaky look (Glaze vs. Wax). I ended up painting over it and then used clear and dark waxes prior to applying the glaze. After all of the work, I was thrilled with the result!
Now to the top post of 2014! I wrote this back in December of 2013 and it remains my top post in 2014 – Whitewashed Brick
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! I have enjoyed seeing your work and thank you for the information you have generously given, in your blog. I love all the things you have done. Probably the one I would most like to have for myself, is the French Blanket Chest. I love that! I love blanket chests anyway, and that one is particularly nice. Have a great 2015!
I do love that one, too! They are such gorgeous pieces and always look amazing when done! Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
Gorgeous, but then all of your furniture turns out wonderful.
Happy New Year!
