{Blue and White Dresser}


A little teaser for you! 





It started like this.  (minus the white spray paint on the second drawer, I'm a little sloppy (aka, too lazy to move the furniture in the background) when I'm spraying little knick-knacks in my garage) 
Is anyone else that lazy?!






But all is well.  I knew I'd paint the darn drawer so I wasn't too worried about it.  ;)






I wanted to try my hand at doing a multi color dresser, haven't done it before and I thought this would be the perfect dresser because of it's defined edges. I painted the white first and taped where I didn't want it, but with my edging brush I really didn't need to tape it at all! Super easy!!






 I distressed and glazed in the corners and crevices and wiped with a wet rag where I didn't want the glaze.  Turned out pretty cute for my first time!  I'm saving this one for Bella's Vintage Boutique in July.  If you're in the Salt Lake City area come check it out July 9th at Wheeler Farms, should be a lot of great stuff there!!

  12. Hi Julie!

    This dresser is fantastic! And I love the look of your blog too. I just might have to stop by Wheeler Farms in July-would love to see everything you have in the boutique-all of your stuff looks awesome! And I have to say that as I was browsing around here I especially loved the pic of you in your paint clothes-like looking in a mirror!

    And thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
