A dresser and a chest

Well another week has past and we still haven't found a place to move to... we have 26 days!!!!

But who is counting?

Excuse me as I go hyper ventilate.

On an update, I have decided that in order to keep my sanity I will not be painting any more furniture until we get settled into our new house.

I just can't handle the stress.

But no worries there are a few projects that I have done that have not been put on this blog yet.

I got a lot of questions about the colors I used from last weeks pop of color side tables.






The top was painted Lagoon but rustoleum and then the white is blossom white also by rustoleum.

Both pieces I will show you today were painted with the blossom white.


Today I have a dresser with a matching mirror and a chest to show you guys.






Here is the after!






This item is sold.

Now I have a chest. But it looks like a small dresser.


 See you can't tell that it is a chest on top with a drawer on the bottom.

Here is the after.






This item is for sale for $200!

Let me know if you are interested!


I am linking to these parties.

  1. Best of luck in finding a place! Quick question - what color white did you use on the first piece and what color did you stain the top? I have a pine buffet that I am going to paint white and I want the stain the top dark brown - any suggestions for me?

  18. of course like your website but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll certainly come back again. food deals melbourne
