Mid Century Chest of Drawers

Lots of things going on around here. We are headed into the holidays and things are hustling. Dreamingincolor will be 2 in a couple of months!! I can't believe it. 

The biggest news is my son got engaged on Aug 4th. I will be in wedding mode from here on out!! Not only am I getting a daughter-in-law, I am also getting a grandson who is 6 years old!! Instant grandma and I cannot be more thrilled. He is just adorable. They also just bought a house so hopefully they will be shopping for some furniture at Dreamingincolor! *wink *wink

Painted Wardrobe Closet




I am being featured today for my Spring Nest Tutorial at Not Just A Housewife



This project all started with the knobs! I know that's crazy but its true. I have to admit I had the wardrobe sitting in the garage for quite sometime. It was almost sent to Goodwill several times if my family had anything to do with it! Once again I knew it had potential but there is a time for everything. I purchased the knobs before I even knew where they would go. They have a beautiful home now.

Laying on its side .......

Heres an old picture....


I had the red paint left over from the Hutch Redo. So red it is again! This piece was in pretty bad shape and I am really not done with it. I still have to replace the bottom and back panels and finish painting the inside. I couldn't resist showing the outside!





The inside will be painted in a light grey.




It is hard to see the distressing in the pictures because it is so subtle.

OLD KNOBS YUK!


The knobs!........Did I tell you about the knobs? I love them!




I didn't realize till I put them on that they are hearts. Even better! Remember the wooden ones in the before picture?

After:

I love the mirrors on this too! (except you can see my mess through them)


This is not in its permanent space because I am still working on it. It always amazes me how much better these pieces look with a coat of paint. It becomes an addiction. I am looking through the house wondering if I should paint something else! I need to start selling this stuff in a store so my house won't look like one!

Did I tell you I love the knobs?
