How to Stencil a Dresser with Numbers
When my father-in-love brought this to me I thought…hmmmm, ok I can work with this. Solid wood. Dovetail drawers. I can turn this into something…….I think.
I’ve been wanting to put numbers on something for awhile now but each time the hubs says he’s not feelin’ it. So this time I didn’t ask.
Numbers I said. Numbers friends. I decided to dust the cobwebs off my Cricut and cut some custom numbers. I LURVE my Cricut and I forget about it sometimes. But when I remember it, it still amazes me. It’s so handy!
First I painted the piece blue. Then I stuck the vinyl numbers on and painted a coat of gray on top of them.
Before the gray was completely dry, I CAREFULLY took the vinyl off with my razor blade.
Pure sweet numbered happiness right here folks.
I then waxed it with my Miss Mustard Seed Antique Wax. Love that product. If you haven’t tried it you should. It adds such depth to your paint.
A little bit of distressing and it was read to go home!
I’m really please with how this turned out. How about you?
I love this piece! So unique and fun! I’ve tried Annie Sloan chalk paint, but really want to try Milk paint soon! Thanks for the tutorial!
You’re welcome Jennifer!!!
I love the numbers! AND the color choices! Great piece. ~Sonya
Thanks Sonya!
Gorgeous makeover!! The blue looks so good with the wood top.
Deee..lightful!
awesome xx
I love that you did not paint the top! Looks so cool!
I too am so glad you didn’t paint the beautiful top. The numbers and paint colors are great, such a different piece. Love it due to it’s different style and look. The hardware is different also from what I’ve seen on many pieces . Happy weekend
