As usual, I painted the dressers in ivory and finished them off with polyurethane.
The pulls were a problem: besides being brass(eww), they are two different sizes, neither are the standard size so, I had to keep them. I wanted to give them an aged look, I came up with a technique that is similar to faux mercury glass minus the glass. First I sprayed the pulls with water in a small spray bottle, then I sprayed them with a light coat of pewter metallic and gold metallic spray paint, i would immediately spritz with water again and repeat the process until the bronze finish was completely covered.
After allowing them to dry, I touched/barely rubbed some of the air bubbles with a fine grit sand paper to give an "aged" appearance. Finally, I applied several coats of a clear polurethane spray.
