It was just your basic plain wood dresser, but it had the forbidden (at least according to me) double knobs on each side! At one time it had 3" pulls, but those had been replaced with knobs which filled each hole. On this petite 3 drawer dresser, there were 12 knobs! If you've been following me for a while, you know this is a pet peeve of mine. I convinced Jessica that we should fill holes, and use a single knob on each side. Phew! She wanted it painted in the Peppercorn color I have used before from Sherwin Williams, and I suggested some fun green knobs to accent the pillows nicely. Here is the result!

Oh my gosh, this might be my favorite piece ever! Love the color and the knobs!

ps no comment on the mommy moment. We've all been there!
Your story about your son made me laugh. I think I like you even more now! haha!
That's such a fun blue! The knobs give it just the right touch :)
This is so fun, I'm curious to see the rest of the room!
That's really pretty. I love the color. I have a bookshelf and a dresser that I need to paint but I haven't started yet.
Aw! :( thats so funny/sad! haha Thanks for hosting! Love the dresser :)
So cute Cassie. The green knobs were an excellent touch. Where did you get those adorable knobs by the way? Thanks for hosting!
Oooohhhh, so cute! And I love the green knobs instead of a pull (or double knobs, of course!). It will be so cute as an end table next to the couch. I love using furniture in ways other than their original purpose! Can't wait to see what everyone else links up.
And don't beat yourself up over the whole mommy thing...I'm sure we've all said things we regret in our impatient moments. The good news is, I'm sure our kids don't remember (at least that's what I'm hoping :)
I love this color combination! I've been looking for a color to paint a dresser and nightstand for my son. It just might be Peppercorn.
i love it! i cannot wait to get it (and the desk) on sunday :o) i think i have a before pic i can send you, too...i will check my computer and get it to you if i have it. you REALLY rescued this piece of furniture! i know we will have it forever and i am so excited about giving this once empty room in my house a new life. i will get you pics of the room when it is ready :o) xoxoxo
Hey Cassie - your dresser looks great. Love the knob choice. The colors really compliment each other nicely. Thanks for another linky party!
I love the dresser, the knobs really set it apart!I am sure everyone relates to the story about your son, thanks for being so real. You are the best! Thanks for hosting today~
The dresser looks fab, love those knobs OF COURSE!
Thanks for hosting and have a great day!

you always do the best color combos, it looks fabulous Cassie!
I had to laugh at your story about your son. My little nephew just told my sister the same thing, that he wanted a new mommy because he got upset over something so little. Love the dresser! Great color combo and adorable knobs. I like the basic wood dressers because they are so fun to transform and dress up.
We have all had moments like that with our kids. No judging here.
Love the dresser. Double knobs are also a pet peeve of mine. I'd rather see a handle. But I'm loving the green knobs. I just picked some up on clearance at Marshalls in a green. Need to find something for the knobs now!
I love it! I saw knobs similar to those at Hobby Blobby and I sooo want to use them on something! I was thinking a pale green or yellow or pink, but that BLUE is amazing with it. I hate filling in holes, I can never get them flat. Got any tips?
Thanks for hosting!
Very pretty! Love those green knobs. You always do such fun stuff with your colors!
Cassie~ I would almost hate to meet someone who had never had a conversation like that with their child! Haven't we all?? (if we're being 'real' that is!)
Love the dresser, especially with the knobs. You do a gorgeous job on everything you touch.
Can't wait to add your button to my blog! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for stopping by my blog with such nice comments. I appreciate the fact you host such a great party!!
I love the dresser looks amazing!

I have said it before, and I'll say it again...you are a paint color genius! Did I spell that right? The dresser is beautiful. Anyway, we've all had those weak moments as mothers, and that little boy knows you love him more than life :)
really pretty - the colors are just beautiful. i'm a new follower!
Nice dresser, love the color choices and love reading your blog. Thanks for hosting...it really is motivating to post what we bust our butts on! Thanks for hooking us up! :)
