please be kind
you sad little dresser, I think I need to brighten you up a bit...
with some primer... and light green paint!
but I didn't have the primer cover everything...
I liked how it crackled
and with sand paper I gave it the distressed look around all its edges...
Distress and crackle, that aught to make it look weathered!
It's perfect for my sons room, his little clothes will fit in it. hmmm this little dresser needs some accent pieces, I'll blog about that next!
That is so beautiful! We have some old dressers in our bedroom that my boyfriend wants to keep since they were his Grandma's the color is so dark and doesn't go with the bedroom but I've been so hesitant to paint. I will show him this and see if he's a little more open to the idea! :)

I am drooling over that dresser. I might just be getting a sander for Christmas...not that I'm peeking at my gifts...but if I do, I'm gonna start painting. Yours just looks so great.

ReplyDeleteI think you did great for your first try at such a piece. That dresser is so cute!
