Feeling a bit nostalgic today on the blog.
This is still a favorite of mine and
just made me feel happy all over.
Come see the transformation of
this plain Jane dresser into a dynamite dogwood beauty
Can you believe that THIS beauty;
This is still a favorite of mine and
just made me feel happy all over.
Come see the transformation of
this plain Jane dresser into a dynamite dogwood beauty
Used to look like THIS???
I saved this dresser from the big furniture dumpster in the sky!
A.K.A. the CRUSHER. It was priced at only 7 bucks at the thrift store because they were trying to get rid of it. If I didn't buy it then it meant that most likely it would go to the
furniture recycling plant which is actually a giant CRUSHER!
Oh the HUMANITY!! I had to save it!
So I brought it home and it SAT in my garage for ......MONTHS!
My wonderful hubby asked me every day; "what are you going to do with it"
I had NO idea....:) It had become a STORAGE of sorts. Lots of things started to
pile up on top of it...It was time to GO.
So much UNLIKE the A-team..I didn't have a plan...I never do...
I just walked out in my garage and went...hmmmm..
Grabbed the paintbrush....tooled through my paints and picked out my latest fave..
CeCe Caldwells and let the FUN begin!
Look at it... better already!!

It was at this point that I decided to recreate my Dogwood dresser, but indifferent colors. You know me...I have a hard time with WHITE and BLACK unless of
course they are in some crazy sort of pattern.
I drew out my dogwoods and then Grabbed my OH SO FAVORITE paint pen in the
whole wide world ...My KRINK
Now I am sure you have all heard me GUSH about how much I love them and this is why!
I drew on my first coat of orange in about 10 minutes....DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW LONG
IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME TO PAINT IT ON WITH A BRUSH????
NOT 10 minutes that's for sure.
after going over it again in a second coat I found some old handles that I had gotten
at a garage sale this past weekend. I got a hodge podge in a ziplock bag for 2 bucks.
I found some that worked and spray painted them in the same color coral as the flowers.
I can't even believe this is the same piece of furniture.
It makes me so HAPPY just to look at it!
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Amazing!! I love Dogwoods and orange and turquoise - it is almost like you made this for me! I wish! I have to try one of those Krink pens. Wow!
Awesome! And for 7 bucks that's a steal! I love how the flower wraps around the side. Now... I need to go check out these Krink pens you speak of. ;)
I love it - and I love the colours you chose. I think I'll have to look into a paint pen for sure!
What is this KRINK? I must find me some KRINK. I must KRINK something and soon ...
What a beauty! And the hardware is perfection ... how cool that you just dug it out of nowhere and zapped it with some coordinating spray paint?!

Just found you via Pinterest. I'm Now a follower. Love the dresser and I'm super excited to try the Krinks marker. It doesn't look like they sell them in the Dallas area ( at least searching their website). I will order some online to try. Thanks for the inspiration.
It surely was worth it that you rescued this piece, because of the work you have done with it is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing, I had no idea of the existance of those paint pens and now I will be also their fan. What a gorgeous idea you had for this drawer, its a masterpiece.
So very lovely, thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best and I am featuring you today!
I truly LOVE this piece!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality! I can't wait to see what you'll be linking up this evening!
