Today being a Monday I sent my kids off to school to start a new week...and I have to say it was an unusually good Monday today...better than chocolate even!! I don't know what is was, but my boys were the bloody Bickerson's all weekend long and it was really getting to me! lol
Anyways...on a more cheery note, I am so excited about finishing my weekend project so I could share it with you! This weekend I transformed this:
into this:
Ok...tell me you didn't actually notice that I am missing a handle down there in the corner, right?? lol
I could have sworn I put 12 handles in my basket but...oops!! Guess I need to go back to that big orange box store and grab another one!
Here is a close up of the de-stressing distressing I did:
I have to say I love the transformation from dark & heavy, to bright and white...but my hubby just isn't feeling the love. He said "so....you just painted it white....and then sanded it off??"
He doesn't get it....
Anyways, I am sharing this here
and here
and here!
Hope your Monday is better than chocolate, too!

Very pretty. It certainly lightens it up. Hubby's mostly don't get it but then I don't always get them.
ReplyDeleteWell, I like it! Husbands need many years of training to "get" it.

I am SO looking for an old dresser that's waiting for me to give it a makeover. I can't wait for yard sales to start up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Met Monday!
Oh wow!!! That looks fabulous! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, it looks fabulous, even minus the last pull ha! Men, in general, don't get painting wood. It's one of their many flaws ha!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great piece! You did a beautiful job!
Cheers!
