Nice job…I’m guessing you used oil based primer…that’s a bleeder (it’s red because it’s mahogany and/or mahogany stain) and really needs the stain blocking. I’ve done so many mahogany pieces, the primer is inevitable.
Hi Maria, I love how your dresser has transformed! It was pretty before but now it really fits your coastal style!!! It is pretty amazing how paint can transform furniture. I am really thinking about painting my French commode/dresser. I’ve thought about it for years and now that the top needs to be pulled off and all the top pieces re-glued together, now might be the right time. I also found the prettiest French transfers…
Oh my goodness! What a difference. I love the lines of this dresser, and I think the color you have painted it and the knobs that you added are perfection!
Hi Maria! I was thrilled to feature your dresser makeover on Tuesday Turn About this week! It’s amazing how you transformed your dresser, especially from a dark red color. I hope you’ll continue to join us and share your tutorials.
Great job! Your dresser looks so fresh and new and works great in that room.

Exactly, needs that extra coverage. Thanks for visiting.
