Antionette Pink Stanley Dresser

I'm SO excited! (do I always say that?)

Anyway......

This dresser is SOOOO pretty!!!

This was the dresser that I found on

Craiglist that I imagined to be a fun coral color.

Like a lot of the pieces I do...that.changed.  ;-)

I snatched up some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in

the new color "Antionette".

And here is....

"Angelina"

When I saw this for sale, I instantly pictured it in a little girl's room!

It, of course, could have other applications - just sayn'. ;-)

This is a picture without the middle door on.

(I kind of like it like that!)

A view of the top that was "washed" in ASCP Paris Gray.

Here is an idea of the color next to our white couch cushion!

Here is the color swatch on AnnieSloan.com

The color is a bit closer to this pink.

Dimensions are: 64" wide x 19" deep x 32" tall

$340 cash

 Contact me for arrangements.

Here is the before:

I always love a fun after!!! :-D

The piece was finished as follows:

~ASCP Antionette (not distressed)

~Annie Sloan Clear Wax

~Original Hardware spray painted in Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze

~The top and interior drawers were sanded,

then "washed" with ASCP Paris Gray

and sealed with Annie Sloan Clear Wax

I hope you are having a great week! I myself am

super sore from working out getting ready for summer ~

anyone feel my pain??? ;-)

See you again soon!

Antique Dresser - "Jackson"

I'm SO excited about this dresser I just

finished up. I always have an idea of what

I want to do when I buy a piece of furniture, and

this one was going to be painted.

But when I saw this wood after sanding a bit,

I HAD to change my plans because it is SO pretty!

I've decided to name this piece

"Jackson"

Big difference, huh?!

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!
