My Dresser Got The Blues

Blue, blue, blue, blue! My go-to color. Also the main color in our room. Since we are keeping this dresser, it became blue to match the bed in our room.

We got this dresser from a neighbor who was moving out of state. It was missing one of the plastic deco things, so we just got rid of all of them and put on some wood trim. 

I primed the dresser with Zinsser's oil-based paint because it's all the rage with DIY furniture makeovers, so I thought I would give it a try. In all honesty, I don't see what the hype was all about. Zinsser's water-based primer is just as good, and I don't have to use mineral spirit to clean my brush/self up, or throw the brush away. and omgosh, oil-based primer smells SO BAD. So bad. The oil-based primer also takes about 1,490,099 years to dry.

While I was waiting for the primer to dry I spray painted the hardware gold with Rust-Oleum Metallic spray paint.

We have been working on our house for over a year. It’s a work in progress. We officially moved into our house in April earlier this year, and have slowly been furnishing it. So excited to have this baby in there!

Faux Fireplace Mantle

I found this awesome mantle at a yard sale for ten bucks.

A little corner got broken off then glued back on, so I fixed it with a little wood filler.

I found a mustardy yellow quart of paint in the reject isle and swooped it up. and that faux fireplace became this:

I'm totally in love!

A Pretty in Pink Breakfast Table

A Pretty in Pink Breakfast Table...with a hint of minty freshness! About a month ago I got this table and chair set. 

Now, I didn't need a table and chairs because we already have one that we made from an old, wood road sign. But for some reason I really, really, really, wanted to paint this table, thus, I told My Honeypie I would sell it. (Yes, I am selling it. I didn't just tell him a joke.) 

I really don't like light colored wood, so I sanded, painted, and re-stained the top. 

I painted the base pink...I found it in the "oops" paint for 50% off. Naturally, I couldn't help myself! I love pink! This is a newly developed love. I used to hate it. Now, I can't seem to get enough of it. 

Kind of girly, but the colors remind me of a candy shoppe. Who doesn't love candy?!

*If you are interested in purchasing this piece or having one like it please contact me.

Blue and Lime

A chair, a chair! 

Hold on. Look to the right. There is a little, tiny poll. Not pole. Go ahead and vote! 

Now.

Here I have a wicker back chair from part of the Sunday Sneak Peek this week...and it turns out I only have one before picture from my phone. So here it goes: 

Now:

The best part is that I got the green vinyl for 50% off as a remnant! Yay! The worst part is that I have somehow misplaced the screws for the seat...which means I have to make a trip to get some. Ugh. 

Also, check out this awesome preview which was not on the sneak peek this week:

I'm so excited about it I can't hold still!
