I hope you enjoyed your weekend.I have been working on some projects lately so I thought I would share one with you today.
I found this old dresser at an antique shop awhile ago and I thought it was high time I brought it in and gave it a few coats of paint.
I have always loved these old vanity dressers with the curved drawers and big oval mirrors.
I put my sewing machine to good use today making curtains and pillows. We have a BIG project we have been working on too but more on that later as it is still in the works!I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis's Monday today.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
look at all those gorgeous bulbs, I meant to put more out this year.
ReplyDeleteTHe vanity turned out beautiful, looks so much better painted white in its new home.
Oh, that is pretty. I thought the same thing...I'll bet he spent hours stripping it. Men love to see the original wood and never understand painting it. I like it white. Deb
ReplyDeleteOlá Carolyn...
ReplyDeleteAdoro comodas e está está linda. Tenho uma com as gavetas curvas que gosto muito, porém não tenho coragem de pintar de branco, teria que mudar tudo. Adoro sua casa com tudo branco, é maravilhoso!
Uma boa semana.

ReplyDeleteThe bulbs you are planting look glorious. It takes a lot to do all of that work now in anticipation of what will come.

I love your makeover on that dresser--it looks so much prettier dressed in paint:) I bet you do plant a lot of bulbs. I need to get busy doing that here too! It has been so warm and humid--but it is November! Sometimes I forget. Enjoyed your post :)

ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYour dresser looks wonderful, sooo much prettier:-)
All those bulbs, wow you are busy, they are going to look amazing, I can't wait to see :-)

Painting wood furniture creeps a lot of people out, but I don't have any problem doing it. Some pieces I leave alone because they do look better unpainted but for the most part I prefer furniture that is painted. To each their own. To me there is no right or wrong, just what you prefer. I love the flower bulbs that you planted. You have me inspired.
ReplyDeleteThis bedroom is so restfull and lovely. Who wouldn't want to lay down there? And the drawer looks great. They are beautiful and with the white color it looks even better.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be lovely to see all those beautiful bulbs in bloom next spring. And what are you doint with all those curtains? Can't wait to see the result.
Hope you have a lovely day.
Love Elzie
I really like the dresser painted, it certainly matches your decor better anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of bulbs to plant, hope you have help.

Carolyn io ti seguo sempre con grande ammirazione,anche se non commento!!
ReplyDeleteIl lavoro che hai fatto a questo mobile è fantastico!!
Un bacio a presto!!
Sabry!!
Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThe fact that your tulips came from Holland put a smile on my face! It must have been quite a job to plant them all. It looks like a huge amount.
Your dresser looks wonderful with a layer of white paint. Such a great find!
Happy day!

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI love the dresser and I would have painted it white too...it has such pretty lines.
Wow, you have been busy planting. I was just thinking about getting some bulbs in. I think you just inspired me to "Get Busy"
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
Your vanity looks bright and beautiful after painting. And so many tulips planted...........your garden will be a colourful Dutch tulipfield.
ReplyDeleteYou made the dresser look tons better. So charming. Your gardens are going to look gorgeous with all those flowers added.
ReplyDeleteAmazing room!
