The color of the nursery is all neutrals, so the blue totally didn't work, even though I did try it for a bit. But, it just looked a little rough anyway. So, to start it's transformation, I painted it Pebble White by Glidden.
I didn't really want to spend the time to fix the bottom shelves, although it would have been pretty easy. Instead, I just sewed up a little linen curtain and hung it on a tension rod right above the middle broken shelf.
The shelves still work great, they just don't look awesome having half the boxes tilting downward :)
Then for the top shelf, I just added a basket I had lying around for additional storage.
I love how this turned out! It's so cute and quaint :) I don't consider myself to by shabby chic, although I definitely love the style. But, I think it works perfect in here.
Above the dresser, I made a gallery wall out of the random stuff I found for her room. I ran out of places to put half of this stuff, so it worked perfect here on the wall. I have like two little tweaks to her room and then I'll share it with you all hopefully next week!
The cost of this project was free! The dresser was a gift, and everything I had on hand from other projects :)
What a fun project and storage is always fabulous. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful, yet simple project. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I always get so happy when I see a piece of furniture that might've been thrown out turned into something even better than the original. It looks gorgeous now, great work!
ReplyDeleteI too love to decorate with clocks. None of mine work either as the ticking gets on my nerves!! I set mine to ten minutes to two so they look like they are smiling. I love the style of your house, it looks so relaxing. Many thanks, Lesley from the UK
