Today is the Transformation Week kick-off. First up is this darling mid-century modern dresser in navy blue. It is going in a little boys' room along with this Serena and Lily bedding. Together, they are going to make for a very stylish room.
Here it is before.
And after.
I stumbled upon this set of vintage Norman Rockwell prints at an antique mall last week and knew they would be a great starting point for Colby's room. I brought them home to a very excited 6 year old. He literally analyzed them for fifteen minutes, then promptly gave them his stamp of approval. I think he said something along the lines of, "Totally cool, Mom".
The paint color is Benjamin Moore's Admiral Blue in Satin.
Fabulous transformation! Such a beautiful shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour; it's amazing!!

Just found your site via D*S and just had to say: GORGEOUS. That blue is amazing, and the finish is so smooth. I would love a dresser like this. Cheers! I will now be reading your blog faithfully.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering wash the dresser laminated. It looks like it had veneer over it. If so do you use a special paint? My site is http://routinehabit.com/blog, Mines an organizing blog, however I do also document any D.I.Y projects.
ReplyDeleteI am enthralled with the blue of the dresser. IKEA recently came out with a line of bedroom dresser in the blue color and I have had my eye on one of them. This repainted piece gives me ideas of my own to do! I have a question: what did you mean by taping off the drawers?
ReplyDeleteThe color is gorgeous, as is the finish. You do beautiful work.
