I used BIN primer after the entire piece was sanded and a tack cloth removed the extra dust.
I was afraid this piece would bleed and BIN primer is shellac based and helps seal in the tannins of the wood. I used two coats of primer letting in dry in between.

I had never used this color before but I went with Melange paints in Copperhead Orange. It’s a beautiful color!

I have a hard time painting anything just one color so I decide to stencil the top two drawers. This is an adhesive stencil I found at Michaels.

I love the pattern and used a soft muted salmon color with the stencil. While stenciling takes time it’s so rewarding once it’s done.

I sprayed the hardware a metallic gold and sealed the entire piece with Wise Owl
Salve.

I dry brushed the same color of the stencil here and there just because I’m extra.
