Richer than black, warmer than ebony, its ESPRESSO!
and Im not talking about coffee ladies.
I painted the top of this Paris rue dresser with one coat of ASCP Graphite over a medium colored
wood finish. Graphite is a dark charcoal color but is too flat on its own.
Once the paint dried I applied a liberal layer or 2 of ASCP dark wax.
Above you can see the upper edge has dark wax on it and the lower edges is just raw graphite paint.
I took a dozen photos to show you this and its still iffy whether you can see the difference perfectly.
The dark wax takes a long time to dry if you want it to be rich and heavy. I let it dry for several days,
buffing occasionally then adding a coat of clear wax to give it a nice shine.
These handles are done the same way as the Etsy hardware.
I added some well placed graphics to the drawers.
*Well placed* is an interesting term considering I tried several different ideas,
in several different locations, sanding away the mistakes in between attempts.
These graphics were drawn and filled in with black paint pens.
