Love the plexiglass idea instead of glass...going to use in in my daughter's room for vanity I'm going to spray paint & attempt to add some detail to. Do you think spray painting the legs metallic on your chair will make it look more like a set?? Just a thought... Thanks for the tips!Mzcutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367963532150273183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-90513374246225159682016-03-27T00:43:41.385-04:002016-03-27T00:43:41.385-04:00I absolutely love it!

I am getting the Southshore ches from Target http://www.target.com/p/south-shore-simply-basics-3-drawer-dresser-white/-/A-11893774 as it is a really cheap price and I have not found any thrift store finds that would be better. This is cheap particle board furniture with laminate on it. Do you think this spray paint would work in this application? Also did it give you a very shiny finish? The picture does not appear to be too shiny. I would prefer a more matte finish with a low shine. <br /><br />Thanks for any help you can offer. <br /><br />JaniceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-66003033602898613942014-06-12T13:24:03.632-04:002014-06-12T13:24:03.632-04:00So gorgeous!!
