I just finished painting this dresser for quilter extraordinaire, Stephanie. It's going in her entryway and I hope it looks fantastic in her space! Every time I have to take sandpaper to a newly finished project, I cringe. It's so hard to rough up something I just spent so much time trying to get as smooth and perfect as possible. Fortunately, she only wanted a minimal amount :) I think it turned out perfect.
Here's the craigslist listing photo of it before.
Yesterday I finally got around to painting the little girls' twin beds. Zac's been out-of-town all week, but he'll be back tomorrow {phew!} and I already have him committed to taking down the old bed and setting up the new Saturday afternoon. Can't wait!
Also, if you're like me, and a sucker for the French Provincial style, I Heart Mesa has a dresser very similar to the one above listed in their weekly Craigslist Collection. And for only $80 bucks too!
Last thing...I would love to turn my Furniture Share page into a photo gallery {with 3 photos across}. Anybody know how to do that???
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading :)
I so love your work - I'm curious how you got your start painting furniture and where you do your (fabulous) work.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, great job!
ReplyDeleteI love this soooo much! I painted mine teal. THinking of changing it to white. But since I already have a white dresser, not sure if that's a good idea!
ReplyDeleteOh Natalie, you're breaking my heart with this one! I found an almost identical dresser a few weeks ago for $25 at the thrift store and my husband talked me out of it . . . and look what I could have done with it! AAAH! Shopper's regret :-( It looks fantastic!

Lucky me! I love this dresser and can't wait to start accessorizing. A little bling never hurts! I've got my son-in-law, Chris, pondering on how to hang that mirror. He'll figure it out. Thanks again, Natalie. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a wonderful transformation! You really did an awesome job!

Fabulous! I have a french dresser that could use a makeover. YOu've inspired me to get out the paint.
ReplyDeletefantastic as always my dear!!
ReplyDeleteYour dresser redo is beautiful. I just bought an ugly (in need of some major TLC) dresser at Goodwill over the weekend. I found your link on Funky Junk and this is exactly what I want to do with mine! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you I am in LOVE with this dresser! This is exactly what I want in my little girls room, love it! You're amazing!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful !! I'm sure that the new owner is thrilled with her new piece !! I just painted every single piece of furniture in my dining room white (distressed and glazed) ... it's addicting, isn't it? *Becca* (your newest follower)
