When I found this beauty, it was love at first sight!
Yes, it was a worn and bit tired! It still amazes me what a bit of sanding and priming just the top can do for a piece of furniture.
I highly recommend using an adhesion primer. My favorite is Zinsser B-I-N. Yes, it is oil based but for a damaged top it is amazing. It can also be sanded and then I usually add one more coat. I use a sponge roller to apply and then toss it out.
The color is Polished Ivory by Valspar. Their paint is so creamy and rich.
I distressed it with my palm sander. I love that thing!
I used Early American Stain by Minwax. Wipe on wipe off!
I used Rustolem Water Based Polyacrylic Semi-Gloss. I sand in between coats. It gives almost a glass finish. I only do 2 coats on the top and one coat all over.
I used Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint for the hardware.

Very pretty, Debbi! I have a couple of similar dressers that I need to get busy on.
