Good Wood

I am the first to admit I over-paint things. Sometimes you just need to leave well enough alone. Lately I have been loving a space that has a beautiful wood piece in it,  and especially drawn to burled pieces. They ground the space, add a classic feel and add warmth. You can also have a ton of whimsy or color going on  and it tones it all down like a cop at a house party. little blue deer

I have this dresser that actually mine when I was a kid.  I painted it gray a while ago, and underneath its  oak-not that exciting.   I like the lines and plan on using it in my boys room...  I have no plans of stripping it, instead I am going to faux grain it to look more like this: I hope to have the tutorial for you by tomorrow or Wednesday,  and in reality I probably should have started with something like a Parson's table... but here goes.
If there are any other finishes you would like me to do tutorials on, just shout it out. I have a bunch up my sleeve from my decorative painting years.
