i did this commission for jenny's baby nursery - for her sweet baby girl - who is due at the end of july! jenny is a wonderful photographer, so i can't wait to get some better shots of this dresser when it makes it upstairs to the baby nursery. anyway, here is the dresser before we began:
the dresser was a hand-me-down that jenny and her husband already had, and she was planning to buy a different one for me to paint, but i convinced her that this one was just fine, and she was happy with the outcome...
here is her crib bedding (isn't it pretty?), which is where i got the inspiration for the knobs, which i hand-painted:
and, here is the result!
detail shot of the distressing and the knobs i painted:

ReplyDeleteshannon- yep, i was trying to come up with something "different" for this project! painting the knobs was my solution :) i can't wait for her to get shots of the whole room together - it's gonna be sweeeeet
LOVE the knobs. subtle yet festive. great work!
ReplyDeleteThe dresser looks amazing...such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJust read your reader redesign on YHL! Love the idea, you've definitely inspired me. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI love your work! How do you distress your pieces? I can't seem to have the guts to take a sander to my newly painted projects, but they just look so fabulous after the antiquing. I wanted some advice before I start experimenting. :)
ReplyDeletethank you guys!!
ReplyDeletemissy - my sweet friend barb is starting a new column on design*sponge allll about painting furniture like that! she owns knack studios (check em out!), and is master of all things furniture!! so check that out next month when it begins! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and look forward to what you have in store!
Love, love, love your blog! I just bought a house in the Atlanta area and am always looking for ideas! Once I find a piece of furniture for my office/yoga room I would love to see how you could make it pretty!!
ReplyDeleteKristen: Fabulous job on the dresser! I have made myself a "Follower" on your blog. BUT: I saw your bedroom on Young House Love (great, sleek job on your bedroom), BUT what did you do with that beautiful sign above your bed? I couldn't even read it, but it looked so nice. Did you relocate it, I hope?? Anyway, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Gloria

I love that you take a seriously ugly dresser and turn it into this! It is proof we need never buy anything new... except of course more paint!
ReplyDeleteI might say awesome in every comment but seriously...SO AWESOME! I dont even know how to say how awesome this turned out! Love it!! Lucky room!
ReplyDeleteShe told me she just didn’t see herself as a leader and didn’t realize that other people at the school saw her as a leader as well
