A vintage Dixie dresser gets a two-tone makeover with Coastal Blue milk paint!
White and wood will probably always be my favorite furniture combination, but wood and Coastal Blue are quickly becoming a close second. The deep dark blue is neutral enough to go with almost anything and a little more interesting than traditional white or black.
Just recently, I bought a vintage Dixie dresser off Facebook Marketplace that was in good enough condition to keep the drawers original and just update the body. I love wood furniture and I love painted furniture, but the combination of the two is definitely my favorite.

- 100 grit sandpaper
- Simple Green
- Paper towels
My partner, Cassie, is the one who initially found this dresser on Facebook Marketplace, but it was closer to my house so she messaged me and told me I HAD to get it. She's lucky I'm a good partner and do what I'm told, ha.
The Dixie dresser was in really good shape besides some minor damage to the top and one of the drawers. I thought I was going to have to paint the entire dresser, but thankfully, Old English disguised the scratches enough on the drawers that I didn't have to paint them.
For the rest of the dresser, I gave it a good sanding before applying 2 coats of General Finishes Coastal Blue. To give the paint a little more depth and dimension I sealed the dresser with antique wax. I love the slight variation in the paint and think it works well with this masculine dresser.
This beautiful two-tone Dixie dresser will be available at Sweet Clover Barn August 17th-19th!
