Cattail Chest of Drawers

Remember Jeannie Clark? She is our artist friend. She painted murals for a living, and she and Richard lived here from 2005 until they moved to Skidaway Island in about 2012. Anyway, she painted really cool stuff in their house. There is a deer on the wall in the main floor bedroom, and tropical leaves in the basement. They are fabulous.
I wanted to paint this old dresser, so I asked Jeannie for help. She showed me a few tricks, like KILZ, and flat acrylic craft paint in 2 oz bottles. And she made some great suggestions along the way. It took about a week.
I drew the cattails, added new wooden drawer pulls, then painted it. The top is the original shiny brown.
I couldn't help myself when I saw this little metal frog. So then I went looking for a three-legged stool, and painted it to go with the dresser.
I thought you might like to see a little craftiness today.
HAPPY FALL!!!
