I’ve done quite a few pieces with this geometric design now, so there’s no need to talk all about it again. All I really have to say is it adds some interest to an otherwise straight and flat piece of furniture. I have written a post all about how to get clean lines when painting a design, and you can check out the other geometric pieces:
I will give you a quick rundown of the products I used. I primed the laminate top before painting. For the frame of the dresser I mixed a custom medium grey using General Finishes Seagull Grey and Queenstown Grey. Once it was all painted and dry I sealed it with their High Performance topcoat in satin. All of the wood parts of the piece are original. I used some Howard’s Restore a finish in Walnut to give them a little bit more life after cleaning them, but that was all! For the geometric design I used Lamp Black milk paint by GF, Snow White by GF and custom mixed the green with a latex paint I had and some GF colors. The green looks off in color in the photos, but in person, it’s a true green.

Another gorge piece Reeves!! Because of you, I just got some Klein blue (as well as 4 other of their colors) to paint my new MCM dresser!! The color is just beautiful. It's a walnut piece with very pronounced rounded handles going in a rectangle around the drawers. I know you've seen them before. Kind of torn on whether to just do the handles or maybe the top and sides too. Wood lovers would kill me! And no way would I put it on Apart Therapy! I've posted two pics and the comments were favorable, but thats because they were in such rough shape. They would annihilate me on this one!
