Engine Red Playroom Dresser

My kids (mostly my oldest) are always horrified when I begin to paint a piece of furniture, then love it and are sad when I sell it.  Go figure! So although I wasn't planning on keeping this one, through a couple mishaps and change of plans, it ended up being a keeper and going directly to the playroom. I'm calling him -

[Keegan]

Irish meaning "little fiery one"

It's actually going to have a little tv on top for movies in the playroom,

but I had to stage it with a few of my favorite kiddy things! :-)

The kids LOVE it!

It was originally going to be ASCP Old White, distressed and the whole works,

but then Bubba did this

You can see I was just getting around to distressing -

not far from being done. Grrrrrrr........still love the boy. :-)

Soooo, I was going to try and go gray, didn't love it.

It pretty much became primed and I used spray paint in

Colonial Red Satin with a semi-gloss polycrylic brushed on to seal it.

Ta-da! A fire engine red dresser perfect for play room fun. :-)

What do you think? A good after???

As long as they love it -

(yeah! we get to keep it! thank you! thank you! thank you!)

I'm happy. :-)

I got to meet with a friend today to brainstorm house design ideas-

my brain is going crazy and I CAN'T WAIT to get started on some concept boards!

We're talking an entire house here people. :-)

And yes, my friend - although my brain is about to pop with all these ideas,

you are doing me a wonderful favor.

I am SO excited!
