Welcome back my Beauties! 

How the heck have you been?

We have been navigating these crazy times and just trying to 

adjust our sails on a daily basis.

Thankfully a few days ago the weather cooled a bit and I was able to knock out some projects.

I haven't spent a lot of time this summer writing up posts because honestly, just surviving seems to be enough of an accomplishment on its own.

But I still love a good makeover and hopefully you do too!

So let's get going.

I picked up this vintage little cutie at the thrift shop for a steal.

I loved that it was in really great shape and only needed a little bit of loving.

It was plain but I knew a little paint would perk it right up.

I got to work on lightly sanding the whole thing down.

Then I wiped it down with warm water.

I wanted to make sure the paint properly adhered.

Once I had that done I picked my paint.

I chose General Finishes Milk Paint in Ballet Pink.

Now if you know me I am NOT a big PINK person, but this color is so subtle I just love it for giving a piece some quiet color.

You may remember the cute little GOSSIP BENCH I did in that color.  You can see that HERE.

So I got to work painting the dresser.

While it was drying I grabbed some old hardware and gave it a clean.

Once it was clean I gave it a couple coats of Rustoleaum Copper metallic spray paint.

Once that was finished and the paint had dried on the dresser I had decided that it needed just a little subtle POP of something to liven up the flat and plain front.

I grabbed my Deco art Winter Wreath stencil and some White General Finishes Milk paint and painted on this simple wreath.

I love that it added something simple but made the front a bit less plain.

I am also happy to say that it sold pretty quickly.

This plain ole piece is now livin its best life in a new home.

Well, hopefully I will get more in the habit of writing up more posts,

but the way this year is going,

.........

who knows. :)

I am happy to have at least gotten to this one.

Until next time,

Be KIND to one another

and have a BEAUTIFUL day!

Welcome back my Beauties!

Sorry its been so long.

I have been working on plenty of stuff, just out of practice for taking enough pics to make a blog post!

In fact on this one I didn't take a full BEFORE picture because I was so excited to get started.

I had already cleaned the drawer fronts and added new hardware before I even started to take pics.

You can see from the one I have that the base of this vintage dresser was in sad sad shape.

The drawers were o.k.; they just needed some cleaning and loving.

But it was missing all the hardware minus the keyhole covers.

I had purchased these cup pulls a while back and was saving them.

I wanted something shiny to go with the dresser makeover so I removed the keyhole covers and the new hardware and cleaned them all and got ready to paint them.

I knew I was going to go with some rich paint color so I wanted a rose gold to accent the piece.

I picked Rustoleums Rose gold spray paint and gave them two coats.

While the hardware was drying I gave the base a good scuffing and sanding and wiped it all down.

Once that was done I could start coating the base.

I picked General Finishes Milk paint in Westminster green to play off the vintage style of the piece.

Look at how great the rose gold plays off the dark wood and deep green paint!

I love it and for a second thought about where I could put it in my house, but then I remembered I already have too many dressers :)

So there you have it. 

One of the many makeovers I have been working on the last few months!

I was looking through some other makeovers and was shocked to see that there was still snow on the ground in some of them.

I am not ready to look at snow again for a while, so I will do those posts LATER!

If you missed any of the last few makeovers you can see them Below.

Until next time,

Classic Campaign Dresser Makeover

Welcome back my Beauties.

I am back with another makeover.

I am happy to say that this one just sold so I figured I should 

write it up before I forgot about it.

I picked up this classic style Campaign dresser at Goodwill 

for a great price and couldn't say no.

It was a beast and just needed a little love.

From the front it looks great but the sides and the top had big scratches and missing stain. 

I decided since the drawer fronts were in great condition I would keep those "as is" and just work on the base of the dresser.

I took out all the drawers and sanded down the base.

I wiped it all down and got to work.

The hardware also needed some TLC.

It had these weird blotches where the finish had worn off so I decided to remove those as well and fix them up.

I gently removed the corner brackets and the hardware and scrubbed them down. Then I gave a quick shot of some Rustoleum Metallic gold spray paint. 

While the hardware was drying I could get to work on the base of the dresser.

I decided to go with General Finishes Driftwood Milk paint since it played off the gold brown of the drawer fronts.

I gave it two coats. 

While it was drying I put the dried hardware back on the drawers.

Once the whole thing was dry, I could put the corner brackets back on as well.

Look how much better that hardware looks!

I love these kinds of pieces that don't need a ton of work to give them a fresh new update.

I am also happy to know that it's enjoying its new life in someone's home. 

That's all for me, for now.

I hope you enjoyed this makeover!
Have a Beautiful day! 

Coastal Blue Vintage Waterfall Dresser Makeover

Welcome back my Beauties!

I didn't think I would be back so quick but the cold weather has me not wanting to leave the house, so I figured I would work some old pieces I did.

Its funny because not only did it take me a long to time to write this post, it took me a long time to work on this dresser.

I am pretty sure it sat in my garage for at least a year.

I bought it at a thrift store because I loved the veneer.

Its that paper thin stuff so I knew I couldn't touch it with sandpaper or it would disappear so I had to work out how I was going to still show it off.

The top was pretty gouged up and heavily stained so I knew I had to paint it. 

I lightly sanded the parts I was going to paint and wiped them all down real well and went to my paints to decide on a color.

I decided to go with General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint because I loved how it played with the wood tone that I would be keeping.

Here you can see how it looked with just one coat on. I had decided to just really clean up the top drawer that had the most interesting grain and use paint on the rest to showcase that part. 

It had the original hardware which I just clean up and put back on.

And here it is in its Coastal Blue Beauty! 

I loved how the original hardware played off the dark blue and the wood tone of the top drawer.

(I also want to know how much I miss seeing GREEN GRASS;

I was for sure not made for winter) :)

This was a hard piece to bring into the booth because I wanted to keep it, but really had no place for it.

But happy to say its enjoying its new life in someone else's home.

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover and hopefully I will get a chance to write up some new posts while I wait out the winter.

Until next time,

Have a Beautiful Day!
