Six Drawer Toile IOD Stamped Dresser -

This IOD stamped dresser proves IOD Decor stamps are easy to use and create endless possibilities.

I recently stamped a six drawer dresser with IOD stamps. We purchased this 6 drawer dresser at auction a few years back.I paid more than I usually would for it, six little divided drawers. I wanted to add a bit of pizazz, and maybe re-coup some of my money by charging a higher price. Small dressers in good shape are hard to come by and one with 6 drawers is even rarer.

The dresser was hand make and solid thick wood so it weighed a lot! Handyman had to repair all the drawers. He then sanded the top layer of shiny paint down a bit so the chalk paint would stick.

Once we had it in the shop and all the work was done I put on the first coat of Annie Sloan® Chalk Paint in Pure White.
After letting the first coat dry, we painted a second coat of Provence also Annie Sloan® Chalk Paint
The third coat was a wash of Pure White. When that was dry I lightly sanded to get some variation and texture and then the fun part.

Stamping the Dresser

I used a brown acrylic paint and several different IOD stamps from the summer 2017 catalog.

I rolled the paint on a piece of glass and then used a brayer to roll it onto the stamp

Practice makes perfect so I practiced stamping on a brown paper bag a few times to get the look I liked.

It took quite awhile to get the whole dresser done and once it was all stamped, I lightly sanded the whole piece. I sealed the finish with clear wax and just a touch of antique wax to add age.Stamping a dresser might seem like a huge undertaking but the stamping goes pretty quickly and the finish is so well worth it!
