I am the first to admit I over-paint things.
Sometimes you just need to leave well enough alone.
Lately I have been loving a space that has a beautiful wood piece in it,
and especially drawn to burled pieces.
They ground the space, add a classic feel and add warmth.
You can also have a ton of whimsy or color going on
and it tones it all down like a cop at a house party.

Today I am undertaking a paint "reversal" of sorts.
I have this dresser that actually mine when I was a kid. I painted it gray a while ago, and underneath its oak-not that exciting. I like the lines and plan on using it in my boys room...
I have no plans of stripping it, instead I am going to faux grain it to look more like this:
I hope to have the tutorial for you by tomorrow or Wednesday,
and in reality I probably should have started with something like a Parson's table... but here goes.
If there are any other finishes you would like me to do tutorials on, just shout it out.
I have a bunch up my sleeve from my decorative painting years.

First malachite, now burl wood? I know you're going to knock this paint treatment out of the park.
This I gotta see.

Ooh, girl, you know I LOVE burled wood (I even bought the faux formica version for the kids playroom). Can't wait to see what you do!! So exciting!
I love burled wood! You are so good at faux finishes I'm sure it'll look fantastic. I agree about a little bit of wood going a long way. I think a wooden piece or two in any room helps to ground it and give it some character!
Loving burled wood lately. Looking forward to the tutorial!
