I don't know if I'm getting tired of painting everything white, or if this little gal really did tell me she needed to be pink! So I decided to follow along with her advice. Here she is a little pink.
And her before.... I loved her simple lines and long, curvy legs. I knew she would turn out great if I didn't completely botch her up in the process! But the knobs had to go, especially the top two they were ugly. I think they came straight from 1972. (I saved the white porcelin ones to add to my stash for future projects.)
I stripped the stain on the top by hand with my handy 60 grit sandpaper. My lovely sister has my electric sander. I just had to keep thinking of the extra calories I was burning, bonus!! No, it really wasn't that bad.
A closer look at the distressing.
I changed the knobs to these pink glass flower ones. I had them on hand and I think they're perfect. Look at those legs, can I hear a whistle??
so sweet! i love the knobs- they are really perfect with it!

ReplyDeleteYou are simply amazing - I just found your blog and I am dumbfounded because I could never have the creativity to make furniture look like that! :)
ReplyDeleteHello again! Thanks for leaving me a comment! The quick drying puddy I used on my dresser is the same stuff they use to finish dry wall. I threw my box away and I can't remember the name. I put a little extra water into the powder when I mix it because it settles in the scratches, and cracks better. I can't wait to show you the dresser all finished! I just love all your projects to, your stuff is darling.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Of course I love all of your work!
