Painted Chests and Giveaway Winner

Remember this red closet that I wanted to imitate? (top) Well, I finally finished with the burl armoire I got on Ebay. I added the lucite handles and painted the inside with red lacquer. You can use high gloss paint (love Benjamin Moore) in an oil base and sand after each coat if you are doing it yourself. Or you can purchase actual lacquer through Fine Paints of Europe, but it dries very quickly and I don't recommend this for beginners. I am a little lazy, so I did not sand. I used "The Gripper" primer, which is an amazing primer that grips to any surface, even glass! Then I used Behr Premium Ultra high gloss paint in red. If you go to Home Depot, they already have this lacquer finish paint mixed in red, black, and white. It is available in quarts and gallons. It has a hard, glossy finish - I suggest four or five very thin coats. Anyway, I love it and now am trying to figure out if I should install hooks on the inside for necklaces, etc.. Right now I just have some purses and clutches in the top and I installed bamboo divider trays from The Container Store in the drawer for all my jewelry. It feels amazing to be organized!
The bedside chests I had done by a professional refinisher here in New Orleans. They used a true lacquer. I gave them the Benjamin Moore color I wanted and they did it for $250 each chest. I thought that was worth it to avoid the hassle and have it be perfect. They even cleaned up the brass bottom and handles. Gorg!
On to the First Giveaway Winner - chosen completely at random...... BEKI!!
