Newly Painted Dresser


Hello Friends!

First of all i would like to say thank you to all my followers!
it means a lot to me to have you here!
All your kind words are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!



(here is the dresser before)


This is one of those moments where your so excited to paint you forget to take a picture before you start.
Oh well, just imagine it dark brown.
This dresser has been passed down from my fiances side of the family.
it's neat to have a piece of furniture that's been in his family for so long in our home.
i just hope they don't care i painted it white.


This was a very simple and quick job.
i sprayed it with Kiltz primer and then just brushed on one coat of paint.
it looked so pretty i didn't want to distress it.... what's wrong with me?
i usually distress every piece I paint.
Maybe i'll get the urge to get crazy with the sand paper later.
i bought a couple of different knobs before liking these ones from Anthropologie.


On top of my dresser i have vintage French basket,
two French glass jars (the small one is a new addition from Dreamy Whites),
a French book, a vintage glass lamp and two balusters.
The lamp shade is a white linen from Pottery Barn.




My walls are so bare because we just moved in.
We are still figuring out where everything is going.
it will probably be a month or two before we hang anything.
i keep moving things around.


To show my appreciation to my followers i have decided to give a pair of my balusters away,
just like the pair of shown on my dresser.
To be entered all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post.
The giveaway will close Sunday night and a winner will be announced on Monday.


For the first time i'll be linking up with White Wednesday over at Faded Charm and
again at Furniture Friday with Miss Mustard Seed.

Have a great week!

until next time,

xo
Cheryl

UPDATE* I'm sorry yesterdays comments were wiped out by blogger maintenance issues. You'll have to leave another comment if you would like to have a chance to win the balusters.
Thanks!
