| Back in 2010 I picked this vintage dresser up for just $65. It had seen much better days. I had purchased it so I could have a folding area in our laundry room. |
 |
| It got a makeover with yellow paint and new knobs. |
 |
| Not too long ago I decided I was tired of the yellow and thus out came my AS paints. |
 |
| I covered a majority of the area loosely with Old White. I did not mind if some of the yellow slightly showed. |
 |
| Next I colored washed it with Country Grey to give it that time worn feel. Total paint time was just 45 minutes to include a clear wax top coat! |
 |
| Then I updated the hardware yet again with beautiful crystal knobs. |
 |
| As you can see the dresser got more than just a new paint job and new knobs. The Hubster helped me take out the bottom two drawers. The drawers never pulled out correctly so I never used them. |
 |
| I needed a spot for Baby Girls kennel which fits perfectly! She loves having her own space away from everything. Sometimes though her kitty siblings like to walk by, then just sit and stare at her while she is napping. |
 |
| So last night I made this little curtain from a shower curtain I had purchased on clearance at Target. It was part of the Shabby Chic Collection they carry. Savannah loves it so much that she actually slept till 9 am this morning! Her normal routine is to wake between 6 and 6:30 so the late start was very much appreciated!;) As you can see I am almost ready to reveal the laundry room makeover! The Hubster took down the fluorescent light today so all I need to do is to decide on the new light! |
