(PS, I'm so sorry to be fudging with the blog layout/look so much, I just can't seem to find "it". I promise as soon as I get it right I'll leave it be!)
Now, this, this you're going to love...

Don't you love it?! I'd love to take credit for being so creative but I saw this idea on Miss Mustard Seed (a fab home furniture makeover blog btw) & followed her tutorial completely. Usually I at least change a few things to make a project my own but not this time, I wanted hers exactly!
The dresser was a thrift store find for $75 & the whole project probably took me 3 or 4 evenings after the kids went to bed. I cleaned it, sanded it, splotched some wood filler in it's holes, painted it & then stained the whole thing with a dark walnut color. Throw some clear sealant on top & you've got yourself a Union Jack just in time for the royal wedding. Now I really wish I was having a "BYOT (bring your own tiara) Royal Wedding Party! ):

Very cool! Looks like a real treasure now!
ReplyDeleteI think it was Cheri (from I Am A Momma) that suggested to me to have another blog off in the corner to test out your layout stuff with, because I wanted to fix mine up but I knew it might take a while and I didn't want my blog all wonkydonky while I was playing with it. Worked like a charm! The 'work in progress' sign is a cute option though. ;)
Oooh, I do love!
ReplyDeleteha, those BEFORE drawer pulls make me sad. Way to bring this piece back to life! I love those little monsters, I wish I could knit some up, if I had those skills ha. ahhh the quest to making your own blog design continues!

ReplyDeleteCute! My dad is from England, he would get a kick out of this :).
ReplyDeleteOh no you didn't! That simply rocks.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT - and wish I could buy it from you! I totally would. I cannot find the tutorial to make one, can you please link to it on your site? Also re: your blog design, I thought the first/original one you used was the cutest - maybe consider going back to that? Love your blog - thanks for all the great tips!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw your dresser I yelled "That's like Ms. Mustard Seed's Dresser!" I love that my two favorite blogs have connected in the blogiverse! I saw her dresser in Luckett's (which is how I discovered her) and I have to say, yours is FANTASTIC!!!! Excellent job :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, that is AMAZING! But what I really want to know is, where did you get that owl lamp?!? I LOVE owls!
