I am totally pooped after my set up day!
I got a few pictures of the dresser makeover that I showed you earlier in the week.
(Yes! I did get it done!!)
I was really pleased with how it turned out given the fact that I was able to complete it in four days.
Here's the end result:
Here was the before in all of it's brown-ness.
Brown paint, brown pulls....
I used Behr's Ultra. It covered really well; but I did sand the piece and put two coats of primer on it prior.
Since it was a pretty simple dresser, I glammed it up with the glass knobs. But it still needed something. I used the bird and banner graphic from the Graphics Fairy and then still thought it needed more.
A simple "good day" was stenciled on two of the other drawers. I just used craft paint and discovered a happy accident! See the distressing on the lettering?
It wasn't intentional.
I was actually trying to wipe away some of my pencil marks with a Clorox cleaning wipe!
I kinda like the result! :)
Sometimes the best discoveries come from a mistake.
That's all I have for now. I'm pretty wiped out.
But happy.
:)
Night.

Your dressed is so sweet. I love the good day and was gling to ask you how you distressed it. Brilliant. Did you trace the bird banner on by hand or is there a magic thingy I need to know about? Thanks for sharing.
