Bureau Painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Emperor’s Silk
This bureau got a quick update with a sample pot of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Emperor’s Silk. I love the warm red color.
The finish on this bureau wasn’t the best, but I did like the dark wood, so I just painted the drawer fronts to add some color and warmth to the piece. I used one entire sample pot of Emperor’s Silk and I was able to paint each drawer front with several coats. A little goes a long way.
I finished it off with a clear coat of wax and some new handles.
I do love the warmth and splash of color that this update added to the guest room.
Oh yes, red she said! It really makes the painting above just pop. Well done.
Very pretty!!
Hi Mary. I just found your blog through Cozy Little House’s feature. I’ve just scrolled through your blog and I love what I see. You have a lovely home and tons of style. I am now following you on Facebook and Pinterest.

I found your blog thru Cozy Little House’s feature also. Love that high boy, the style is old fashioned, love the little wheels also. Think leaving the dark wood was great choice with the red, really sets off the drawers. The red is gorgeous. Just subscribed, look forward to seeing what you’re up to.
Now I have to decide what color I’ll paint the drawer fronts on an old chest I have. It’s time for a little rehab.
The red really makes your artwork pop and adds a nice warm touch for the upcoming winter. You can’t go wrong with red!
Mary,
What an amazing job! I love the red color and the contrast with the rest of the dresser!
Thanks so much for inspiring me today!

Oh, I LOVE the color!

That looks so good. I love that red, too and yes that paint goes a long way.
I love this, Mary! The red looks so good with the darkness of the wood. I love using sample pots, too. You can get a few little projects out of them and I like being able to try some colors before I commit to the quart.
i love that mary! amazing what just a little paint will do to update a piece- beautiful!
The red is gorgeous! That is definitely on the top of my to do list is to try Emperors Silk. I have covered two pieces of furniture with only sample pots, they are great when you want to try a daring color and only need a small portion. Yet, they go a long distance. 🙂
Nice little update to a cute dresser.
Beautiful transformation! Love chalk paint! Hopped over from Cozy Little House and I’m happy to be your newest follower <3. Would love to have you stop by for a visit. Blessings ~ Judy
Great job! I really like the contrast of red with the dark.
I just love it when someone out there in “paintland” uses two colors (red and brown) I never thought to put together in such an inspiring way. Great job!
