weekend-turned-weeklong project

finally finished my dresser makeover! after sanding, cleaning, painting, and coating with polyurethane, i had to wait another 48 hours for the stench to fade to move it from the porch to the bedroom. i got a little impatient at some parts, so i'm not 100% satisfied with it, but i think i'll like it more once i add a few more elements to the room. and i like that i got it at the SC thrift and resale, which benefits womens charities here in charleston.

before:




















the dresser, right before i started painting-- almost forgot to take a before picture!





















the previous drawer handles. buh bye!






















i picked a teal by olympus called "french riviera"... and yowza, it turned out quite bright. the next pic is the finished project, but taken in a darkened room..





















*le fin!*

now to rehang the mirror, find a headboard, get another curtain installed, an accent chair, and perhaps an antique trunk... plenty to look forward to there.

more pictures to come, once i resolve these arrangements with my ocd...
