Navy Blue French Provincial Dresser
Natalie from A Ray of Sunlight mixed together Jitterbug and Peacoat to create this amazing, bold blue color for her navy blue French Provincial dresser makeover! Keep reading to find out how she did it.
When Natalie picked this piece up, it was just begging for a royal makeover to cover up its scratches and dents.
Natalie gave in to its demands by creating her own custom jewel tone blue color.
Before diving in, she sanded down some areas to smooth out the finish. She then gave it a couple of coats of shellac to prevent the inevitable bleed through.
Then she mixed together 2 parts Jitterbug with 1 part Peacoat to create the perfect, eye-catching blue!
She applied the paint with her Wagner paint sprayer to achieve a flawless smooth finish.
With a hint of distressing and a couple of coats of poly, this beauty is ready to go!

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am the owner and creative mind behind A Ray of Sunlight. I have always loved anything to do with crafts, so it only seemed right when I started my career in painting and refinishing furniture. Growing up my parents taught me how to create, imagine the possibilities and transform things with a bit of work and paint. I wanted a career that would enable me stay home with my baby girl, and furniture does just that. Thank you for following along on my adventures of up-cycling and bringing light back to old outdated pieces.
