For the love of this cheery dresser, I am on the hunt for some dingy old chest of drawers that need some love in the form of a bright new coat of shiny paint. Amazing what love and the color of the ubiquitous Tiffany Blue box can inspire. I love this gem of a color, how about you?
See what a "My little green notebook" did with paint!
Look at what Jenny did. Rumor has it that the canvas drop cloth never gets moved for it is in perpetual use. I for one can hardly wait to see what she does next. She even painted those boxes on top of that hot-rod red chest. Never underestimate the power of a pregnant lady, especially when something is calling out those magical words "paint me!"
What a nice project. I hope you find just the right chest. Certainly this time of year you might find a church tag sale - or a second-hand shop. You never know what lurks just around the corner. Thanks for the intro-love meeting new-to-me bloggers.
ReplyDeleteSome fresh paint and new hardware. Years ago, I was given a dresser. I painted, and had a mirrored glass cut to sit on top. It gave my perfume bottle multi-dimensional effect. Very cool to look at.
ReplyDeleteThis post gets me itching to pull out the drop cloth. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOoooh the blue one is pretty! I hope you find the perfect one. Will it be painted a pretty green?
ReplyDeleteA few years ago I painted the small dresser I had as a wee young girl, a simple white for the guest room. The last drawer had a small crack (I had it fixed) My mom said I would pull the drawer out so I could stand on it. LOL...
Have you checked out Barb at http://knackstudios.blogspot.com/ she gives life back to the furniture of the past.
Have a golden one! xoxo

Every girl needs a little Tiffany blue in her life; big or small boxes! It is a delightful colour.
ReplyDeleteThe red (lacquer?) is eye-popping, in a good way!
Pve - I gave the dresser away,when I was moving, and to someone who needed it. And I have since reduced my perfume collection to 3 bottles. But that would have been a good post!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely comments yesterday brought extra sparkles to my day. Thank you for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab paint job on the dresser, that color is "wow" and thank you for pointing me to a another fun blog to get lost in.

I just love all the great stuff people blog about and the snaps. Must be the cooler season that drives us to recreate some great items.

The Tiffany blue one is my favorite. We're in the same boat. I'm looking for a gently loved console for my living area. I've not found quite the right one yet but I'm keeping hope alive.
