Locks of London Dresser

Just finished is this gorgeous dresser by 'Locks of London'. 



This particular dresser benefits from having some intricate carvings and authentic lead glass. 
For this piece I used Annie Sloan's 'French Linen'. To add some real character to the dresser I also lightly distressed it and used wax to really bring out the beautiful details.

If you are interested in purchasing this dresser it will be available to bid on from 8pm Wednesday 25/09/2013 via ebay.

Our latest commissioned piece...

Here is our latest commission; a beautiful 'Merchants Chest'!

The client selected Craig & Rose 1829 Acrylic Eggshell in 'Regency White'. This gives the piece a stunning clean finish. The wooden knobs were replaced with Crystal ones which add a sophisticated touch and really sparkle. The finishing touch is 'Parisian' style paper lined to each of the 11 drawers.

    

Are you looking for a beautiful piece of furniture, or maybe you have an existing piece that would benefit from a Pretty–Shabby makeover? If so give me a call today!

About me...

My passion for painted furniture started when I fell in love with a very expensive welsh dresser. It was sadly way out of my budget but having previously worked as a painter and decorator I decided to have a go myself. Weeks of researching and watching Youtube videos I decided that Annie Sloan was my best choice of paint. I was right; it is fabulous to work with and I now have a dresser that stands proudly in my home and I love it!

This was 2 years ago and since then I have  attended an Annie Sloan painting course (the course leader trained with Annie Sloan herself!) and I have gone on to makeover many pieces of unloved furniture. 
Now I bring to you 'Pretty-Shabby' where you can get beautiful pieces of furniture, lovingly restored at an affordable price.
