Julie and I just finished this piece, and to be honest, we are pleased as punch with how the finish turned out..... love it!!
This console is a reclaimed Drexel piece, super solid with great storage inside but the finish was outdated.
This is how we achieved this look. (All CeCe Caldwell's products) 1st coat Cinco Bayou Moss, 2nd coat Mississippi Mud. Then we dry brushed: 1st coat Vintage White, 2nd coat Young Kansas Wheat. Then we took old washrag scraps and damp distressed. We let it dry for 24 hours and then applied Endurance Finish. For a little extra boost, we used CeCe's Walnut Stain + Finish and wiped it on the shelves inside that had some wear.... and it spruced them right up.
Well, we both want to keep this piece, but it's not nice to fight your friends for furniture;) So off to the store it went. If you are looking for a great heirloom piece to add to your home before the holidays, you can find this at Unlisted in Centennial, CO.
