Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Party Number 71!

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Hello!  Hope you are all having a wonderful time on this fabulous day!  We started our day with a birthday waffle for Emmy, with 5 chocolate chips for each year of her life, and a candle.  We have an evening planned for Emmy.... it includes her favorite meal (pizza from a shop, not made at home!), and opening her presents from us.  I made her one gift, so I will share that later.  She is just so darn excited to be 5 and heading to kindergarten next year.  I, of course, am thrilled about what her heading to kindergarten means for my schedule, but I am also heartbroken that my baby is growing up.  Sigh.

Anyhow.... I am sharing the full  makeover details of this dresser today over at the DIY Club, but I will give you the quick before ad after here.

BEFORE:


 And after....


Ooooh, aaaah.  ;
I actually really like this one- I can see it in a boy's room, for sure. It has a very nautical feel to it.
Remember for all the details on color, paint, primer, etc, head over to the DIY Club!

Let's see what you have got this week!

I know EXACTLY what you mean about your baby going into kindergarten, mine is too! I'm happy about having more time, but it's crazy to think about. I don't want my kids to grow up :( - that dresser is adorable by the way!!

Cassie dark blue is the new black, seriously. I'm smack in the middle of doing our nightstands BLUE, hubby just about had a heart attack after the first coat went on but all will be well in the end. Your dresser is Shakeriffic in a cool smoky blue way, I'm heading over to DIY to check the details, nicely done.

Beautiful dresser! My baby still has another year to go before Kindergarten. It will be hard...but I will also freely admit that I love the two hours twice a week when she's in preschool and I can go places BY MYSELF! It's especially nice after a lot of years of homeschooling ;-)

Happy Birthday to Emmy! I'm loving the dresser! It's distressed in all the right places. We have a nautical guest room and I know it would look perfect in there :)

Cas- you're right! It DOES have a nauticval feel to it! It just needs a little rope covered lamp and some shells to top it off! Thanks for hosting again! andrea@townandprairie
