it's done!
what used to look like this:
now looks like this!
i painted it kelly green (following my instincts, there) and hand-painted the black and white flower pattern in the drawer faces. the handles were also replaced with new black iron pulls.
and my living room looks like this!
(all in the name of a good old-fashioned photoshoot. now, if i only had a better camera :) one day!)
Love love LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteOk, at first the green worried me. But girl! That is one awesome piece! I adore it. Good work.

ReplyDeletemolly, thank you for commenting! haha! it was goooood to see you guys, too! hope to see you sooner again, rather than later! soccer boy weddings always bring us together :)
This might be my favorite of all your furniture redos. The black and white is flowering great.

ReplyDeletethanks, friends :)
ReplyDeletesarah- it helps that i cleared out that wall in my living room entirely for the photoshoot huh?? hah
fabulous--also loving that throw on your couch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! are you planning on keeping it?
ReplyDeletewell, it belongs to my dad and his wife, so they decided they want to keep it :)
ReplyDeleteThe transformation is fab-u-lous! Many others seem to think so too because I was just making one of my many daily visits to http://www.designspongeonline.com/, and guess whose kelly green desk is one of the features on their "before & after: painted beauties"...none other than... Kristen of K.F.D. Designs! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, came across this via Design*Sponge. Can you give any tips on working within the small groved part of this piece above the legs and beside the drawers. I have a large built-in that I'd like to refinish, but not sure where to start or how to work within the small grooved areas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! I love it very much!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! So creative and unique.
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never done anything in that shade of green and I am loving it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStop by my painting blog and say hello sometime!
