{A Little Pink}



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??

  8. Hello 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.
