Today I have a very soft and very girly dresser makeover to share with you. The best part is how I acquired this dresser. I received a phone call from a friend of my neighbors. He and his family live in an awesome old stone farm house and have acreage and barn, and it's just a beautiful area! Anyhow, he had taken a week off of work to clean out the barns, and called me because he had a dresser he wasn't sure if I could use. If not, it was headed to the landfill. Yes, please, I will save it!
I used
Cece Caldwell's Pinkerington Violet (LOVE this soft shade of cool pink!) to take this dresser from here:
to there:
You might have noticed some other changes, like new hardware, a new applique.... I am sharing all the details today over at
The DIY Club. Be sure to check out the post over there if you have any questions!

Pretty pretty! I love it - any excuse to paint something pink makes me a happy girl. I don't get to do that much around my own house living with 2 little boys. Some lucky little girl (or big girl!) will love it!
Love the color and the new knobs rock!
And save it you did! What a pretty color!
just beautiful! don't show your neighbor- they might want it back! :)
Great save! Perfectly pretty!
What a lucky girl you are - I wish I'd get calls like that!! Great job, as always...

Hi Cassie...you do such fabulous work! Would have loved to acquired a piece like this:) Some little girl will be lucky to have this! Julie
Perfect color choice, love the sweet girly curves on the bottom too!
Landfill???!! But it's so pretty! (Definitely much prettier once you got your hands on her.) The pink is lovely and the applique is a nice touch!
Great transformation! I love all the choices you made: colour, hardware, applique, distressing- it's a lovely piece!

What?! I need free-dresser-giver-away-ers in my life too.
Cassie to the rescue! You amaze me! This is such a pretty shade of pink and I love the new hardware and appliqué.
So pretty in pink! That is a lovely soft shade of pink and the crystal knobs are the perfect touch. You worked your magic Cassie!

O Cassie, it's absolutely yummy! Sweet, sweet make over.
Perdy color!
I love sweet dressers! And I love the soft color!
You realize thus considerably when it comes to this matter, made me personally believe it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men don’t seem to be involved until it is something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!

Love it! That color is so beautiful and soft.
Oh how I love those phone calls from friends asking if I want some old furniture! What a beautiful find he gave you. I haven't tried that color yet, and I am inspired to find a little dresser to try it out on. I so love the little applique you added. It turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing. -K
