Adding the two-toned element of wood to a piece doesn’t always require wood. The Sausalito finish, patterned after Pottery Barn, is a clean finish that gave this dresser the faux wood contrast I wanted.

Shout out to @blacksheep.house (Instagram) for the original recipe that I adapted for this video. She color matched the paint, Rugged Tan by Behr, and recommended the Decorative glaze by Rustoleum.

Then, it was easy to do the rest. This dresser sold two days after it hit the marketplace.
