Alright, I know I said I would have a few posts with valentine crafties but I didn't really finish them all until after vday and some still aren't complete :-( So lets just move long, okay?
Today I met Cassie over at her Salvation Army as she found a dresser that was perfect for a TV stand for my house. I'd show you a pic but its big and still in the car = ) As I was leaving she told me in a sweet way that I had better post my dresser I just completed and link to her party so here it is.
(sorry for the mini pic but a few weeks ago my computer suffered a virus and other things I don't understand now all the pics I saved are super small)
I picked it up for $20 at one of my fave thrift stores. I LOVE their prices! I don't think there has ever been anything I've wanted from there and felt it was overpriced. I had also recently picked up a great shade of yellow from the oops section.
Because Cassie had just finished a dresser like it, I followed her lead as far as prep. I sanded it down with my orbital and medium paper, put one coat of primer and two coats of paint and primer in one, topped with Minwax Polycrylic for protection. I also used oil primer for the hardware with a white enamel paint. And here it is after
So of course I am linking up to POWW over at Primitive and Proper
as well as PoPP at Domestically Speaking

What a great piece and I love that yellow!! And you are so right, it looks to be the same color as the desk I just finished! Great job and thanks for your nice comment.
ReplyDeleteemily, you already know i love it! but wanted to say thanks for the shout out! :) now next week i expect your new dresser at my party... ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great colors.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable and I am cracking up at the "twenty dolla holla" title! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOooh, great job! I love the color! The white handles are a perfect touch! Cassie knows her stuff! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm having TWO giveaways right now--love it if you could check them out! alittleknickknack.blogspot.com
Very cute Emily! I just love the color and the way the white hardware pops. I think all dressers should be $20 (or less!), at least in my fantasy world. So I guess you painted it INSIDE the house!
ReplyDeleteI love your dresser. The color is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat dresser! When I get some money I may be on a furniture quest of my own. ;)

That is super gorgeous! The yellow and white combo is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHello! I just came across your site and saw your dresser post. I thought it was funny that I too, just recently found the exact same dresser for $20. Mine did not have the original knobs... but my goodness was covered with a unique paint scheme. Just thought I'd share my redo (legs still to be finished). :) Valerie
