Green with Envy

Just finished up a dresser Ive been dying to get in my house! With a new child on the way, and hardly any closet space, that means I got to go dresser shopping! This was originally supposed to be for Jake, but it turns out, the Blue One suited him better. I think he has more clothes than me...but no ones counting! At first I asked him for some color suggestions, but didn't really like them (shh don't tell!) So i decided if I'm going to paint it a bit of a girly color, he could have the awesome blue dresser. LOL!
 
Here is the before....yucky old lady-ish! You can't really see it in this picture, but those bottom handles have PINEAPPLES on them! Bleh, not my style.
 
 
 
Here is the finished product!
 
 
 
Cute huh? Are you envoius? I think Jake is! Kidding. The paint is called Pear by Behr. The knobs are from Hobby Lobby (love that store!) and the pulls are from a kitchen store online. The top has the original white laminate (i think) and all the rest has been painted and sealed with Johnson's Paste Wax.
 
These two pictures show the color and knobs better...its a bright one!!

New Blue Dresser

I've been soooooo busy! I'm sorry I don't keep up with my blog very often. But I'm here today with a new post!
 
Here's the second debut of my first piece!!!
 
My mom and dad helped me out and bought me a dresser for my birthday. That is awesome in my book because it's something that I will have for a very long time. My mom also helped me with some of the DREADED stripping and sanding of all the original poly and stain. It was gross looking before, pictures don't do justice.
 
Here's the before...
 
 
 
 
 
I stained the whole thing to seal the wood, that added paint to all except the top. The knobs are from Hobby Lobby (love that store! And if you knw the owners of that company...please tell them to build one in Pinellas County),a nd the pulls I found on the internet.
 And here is the after...
 




 
I am so in love with my new (but old) blue dresser!
I am in a blue phase.....I don't know why!! You'll see what I mean when you see my upcoming pieces.
Tune in to see!
