Hi Kate! I purchased a chest today that I am planning to lacquer-up and wanted to ask a quick question about the oil-based paint you used. Do you find that it is sensitive post-drying? That is, easily nicked or affected by an erroneous water glass? I want to use the most resilient paint that I can so that this piece lasts! Thanks!

I’m loving the transition from all the black furniture that was so popular a few years ago to the fresh white!! Also, hey, like your new blog look! I just noticed!

Shut up! :) I’m laughing because I just ordered a white lacquered desk from ZGallerie today for my office. It’s very similar to the one you pictured from traditional home. And, since my office is going to be white, yellow, with black or brown, I also have the yellow tray from West Elm:) I really love what you did with your dresser (both times) and think it’s awesome that you shopped your house to find that new addition.

I really like the look of the laquer…it’s so clean and fresh looking…
Didn’t even know what laquered furniture was till I came here though…learning something new from you everyday Kate!

Firstly I would like to say that I am VERY jealous of your Dorothy Draper chest! and that I have also been struck by the lacquer bug lately! I was given a side table that is obviously needing some tlc and I think it would look great in white lacquer. I have never tried this look before so am very excited!! Would love to see more of your selections!!

I love that parson’s desk!
Your dresser looks great – I love the gold on it. I’m about to sand all the gold off of a nightstand, though.
