Once the garden is planted and underway I turn my attention to some of my painting projects. I wish I had been blogging 8 years ago when we bought the cottage, I would have had tons of furniture make overs projects to show. I've painted dressers, tables, bookcases, hutches, and lots of chairs. Most of the inside furniture has been painted a creamy white or soft green. But my latest project for Andrea's closet is a bright pink.
This dresser was a trash pick from the end of last summer that I didn't have time to paint. Yes, someone left this cute little dress on the street. It had been spray painted black (never a good thing). The dresser is probably from the 60's when the white with gold trim French Provençal was all the rage.
It is bad when you start decorating the closets, but what the heck, why not.
I liked the drawer pulls that came with the dresser but they were had a gold cast to them and did not look good with the pink. The pink turned out a little brighten than I thought it would. It kind of glows in that white closet.
Since this is Andrea's closet I added some vintage New York City postcards.
I already had the mirrors, tray and postcards so the only thing I purchased was an 8 oz. jar of sample paints you see at the big box stores and the drawer pulls. It cost me only a little over $20.00! Don't you love those kind of projects…
Tell me about your favorite trash pick.
