There is also the possibility that it is the stain and sealer that I used that we are smelling. I'll have to do some research before bringing in my next piece. cvloehrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-43213780249754323232012-08-27T06:25:49.462-04:002012-08-27T06:25:49.462-04:00Thanks for reading.

Have you tried using vinegar? That might neutralize a little must. If the odor is strong at the start I would probably not bring it home. Some things are just too funky even if free :)Mrs. Limestonehttp://www.brooklynlimestone.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-72602488266560480252012-08-26T22:31:22.459-04:002012-08-26T22:31:22.459-04:00Hello Mrs. Limestone, I am a new though completely...Hello Mrs. Limestone, I am a new though completely addicted visitor to your blog. I too am an avid refurbisher of found furniture. My question is: how do you get rid of the musty smell? My projects generally result from pieces on the side of the road in suburbia with free signs, that are not gross but still have that certain mustiness. I have left them out in the sun to bake, I have cleaned thoroughly, but once it makes it's way into my home, I am often still left offended when I walk past. Thoughts?

I read it as you were annoyed by it and it kind of bothered me too. This whole Internet thing is tricky that way. I just thought it was crazy that the original artist could do such an amazing drawing and then leave off one of the legs, so I was excited to find it for you. Funny thing is I never would have counted if you hadn't brought it up. Looking back I see where it would have gone through one of the drawer pulls. You've to do what's right for the piece.

This was a last minute project so I didn't pay that muc attention to the paint - I just went to Home Depot and picked up a quart in white that had a LOW VOC and no primer promise. I believe I used Glidden Duo (the same paint I used for my shore bedroom) but I can't seem to find a photo to double check. You can read more about what I thought about that paint on my MYColortopia post: http://mycolortopia.com/blog/bedrooms/my-guest-room-makeover Its not completely smell free, just a lot less toxic than traditional paint. When used in small quantities like the dresser, the smell was barely noticeable.Mrs. Limestonehttp://www.brooklynlimestone.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-79338672321875608402012-07-29T21:51:41.702-04:002012-07-29T21:51:41.702-04:00as a fellow pregnant lady trying to avoid fumes bu...as a fellow pregnant lady trying to avoid fumes but getting stuff done before bebe arrives- I am wondering what kind of paint you used on this with no sanding and no priming...THANKS!Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-66670751832269376682012-07-26T18:05:41.658-04:002012-07-26T18:05:41.658-04:00I love this dresser!
