Welcome back my Beauties! 

I have a super fun makeover for you guys today!

This was an on a WHIM makeover that actually re-ignited my 

love of makeovers.

With everything going on in my life, and after having done this for many many years I was starting to get a bit burned out.

Don't get me wrong, I still love what I do;

but I just hadn't had the UMPH I was usually getting 

when I was making old things pretty again.

In the beginning I used to put original artwork on my furniture.

But most of the people around this area, didn't want to pay the price for ARTWORK and Furniture.

So I went back to just painting the furniture and selling the artwork separately. 

I painted lots of furniture and sold many paintings,

and I was very happy.

But sometimes a girl still needs to be creative.

And this piece and what I used allowed me to still be creative,

while not putting OVERTIME into my pieces.

Let me show you how! 

First things first....PREP..

Wouldn't you know I was cruising along prepping the dresser and I get to the LAST knob and that sucker is LIQUID CEMENTED on.

I had to pull out my HACKSAW and cut that baby off.

Once it was off, I could lightly sand the whole piece.

It had lots of fun stickers all over it, and even though I got all the adhesive off, I wanted to make sure there wasn't any residue anywhere. 

After the light sanding I wiped it down with a damp cloth and pulled out my General Finishes Milk Paint in Persian Blue.

I gave it two coats and let it dry.

Now here is where the inspiration and creativity kicked in.

I have been watching for WEEKS while people were using these fun color transfers. So on a WHIM, I decided to order one from Amazon to see what they were all about.

I ordered the Iron Orchid Designs Farm and Floral transfer.
The BIGGEST one they made.

You can see here on INSTAGRAM me applying the transfer.

That was it...I was hooked.

I mean...look how COOL that looks. 

It had those vintage colors that I LOVE and it added so MUCH to this simple little dresser.

Once it was all on I just used my Americana Acrylic sealer in Matte to seal the transfer.

AIN'T she a BEAUT!!!

I fell in love with these transfers and plan on using more in my future. (who am I kidding, I have already done 3 more with about 4 more waiting.)

Best of all, my customers love them too!

This baby sold and and is now enjoying its new life, in its new HOME!

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover!

I know I did.

Until next time,

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
