Wow... has another week really gone by? Fall sure is a busy time. It is my absolutel favorite time of year, and yet it flies by me! Anyhow, onto this week's project from me before I get to see what you have been up to. I picked up this dresser at a yard sale right on my street! I even had Emmy in the car with me at the time, so they brought it to my house. Gotta love neighbors! It was priced at $60, but it was literally up the street- no gas or mileage required-, and they're neighbors. And besides that, isn't it just so pretty with that curvy serpentine front and beautiful mirror? Ok, so you just see the mirror posts in this pic, but trust me... the mirror is pretty!
I sanded it, primed, it and had to find a replacement pull in my stash. I had one that was a close enough match. I hemmed and hawed over the color, and decided to keep it very feminine since it had such lovely cuves, pretty carvings, and a mirror. And what is more feminine than pink? Here it is now in its new pink loveliness! I will admit, pink is not my favorite color, so I always hesitate to use it, but I figure some people like pink, especially those with little princesses.
Ok, and sorry for the poor layout of photos- I really don't like this blogger update at the moment. So, whatcha got? Remember the rules!

I love pink. I wonder how long till it sells! It's a hot color here :)
I love it! Sweet and girly. I like pinks and have found pink seems to do really well in my area. That's a very pretty pink that you chose, Cassie and the dresser has great curves. I see why it got your attention. Nice job!
That is a really great dresser and so pretty in pink1
I love pink.... It's my color! It's perfect for that sweet piece... Looks amazing.
I love the dresser pink! It looks so good with the black hardware. I'm sure it will sell very quickly. Where and how do you sell your furniture?

I really love the pink! It was wonderful. I need a pink dresser - we have not done one yet. I need to work on that. This is gorgeous!
The pink is so sweet :) Is your daughter wanting it for herself?! I've had trouble with Blogger this week, too. Wonder what's up. Thanks so much for hosting! This is one of my favorite linky parties out there, because it is ALL furniture, which I am such a sucker for!
I really love it so much! It would be perfect in my daughters Princess room, too bad you are so far away! Great job and great color!
Don't have a ding dang thing to link, even though I painted a dresser with mirror, shelves, a desk and a chair this week for my daughter. Not a stinkin pic did I take. I'll take 'after' pics one the room is put together and link up next week.
LOVE the pink. I need to find me something to paint pink. Right now.
I'll say it again, you find the best stuff! I love this. Sorry I've got nothing to link up this week.

I don't have a ding dang thing to link either. Cindy has such a way with words! I love the pink dresser. I can see a little princess standing on a little stool peering into that sweet mirror brushing her locks!
sooooo pretty :O)
What the heck?? I have pink lined up for my next dresser! Get out of my head, Cassie!!!!
Cassie, thanks for hosting again today! I love your pink dresser, I am working on a pink vanity right now. You always do such beautiful work!
Cassie,
Great stuff this week, makes me want to redo a piece of my own furniture! -denise
I have a dresser just like that! I love what you did!
It turned out so pretty! I love your work!!!
What a gorgeous piece! I love the pale pink!
What a beautiful piece of furniture, especially the mirror. I especially love it in pink, my favorite color. This is my first visit to your blog. I found it through Transformation Thursdays. Now I'm going back to look at all your other make-over projects.

Cassie, thanks so much for the comment. Your work is spectacular. I loved the glazed pink. I did a changing table in pink a while back for my granddaugher's nursery. This paint and glazing thing is quite addictive.
Oh it's lovely in pink! It makes me with my girls were little again
I LOVE this pink dresser! What a perfect shade of pink, Im going to have to use this on one of my pieces. Just the right amount of distressing too, Im jealous for my daughter's room!
Can't find a cute enough word for that dresser, I love it!
I love everything about this and would snap it up in a minute if i lived anywhere near!!!
Very pretty Cassie, I love the soft color.
What a gorgeous find and I love the paint you chose. Wish I had a girl :)
I think this is lovely! It's not a bright pink, it's a nice, soft pink. Anyone (well, with girls) would love to own it! Thanks for sharing it!
