Dresser ReVamp

Okay. So this is shameful.

But to my credit, I was using what I had at the time.

When we first got married, we were gratefully given a bedroom set. This was definitely welcomed, cuz I wasn't a fan of just piling all my clothes on the floor and not having a nightstand gave me the chills.

And, three years later. We still have the set.

But thankfully, with time comes maturity in one's own decorating style.

Actually. Nevermind.

I never did like the color of these pieces to begin with.

And from there. The story unfolds.

The headboard was the first to go.

Now:

And then:

Yikes!!

I hated it even then so much that I threw a sheet over it to hide most of the color.

Then the nightstands were next:

Now:

And back in the day when I was crazy:

And Finally!

The big one.

Which took me for.e.v.e.r. to paint.

Here's the before:

Shameful, isn't it?

I don't think I could put more stuff on the dresser, even if I had to.

And now! 

Holy Crikeys! Soooo much better in my book.

Took long enough to do.

But well worth the wait.

I even got a little sitting area out of it!

All of the handles got a little updo with some ORB spraypaint.

They WERE brass......ugh.

And the nice blonde oak wood - I really have no idea what color they were.

Got some sanding and a fresh new coat of 'linen' colored paint.

And finally, I can appreciate my bedroom set more now than ever.
