Does anyone remember this dresser? I have been stalking some design blogs for a couple of weeks. It inspired me to take some of my families old furniture and redesign it. I had to fix a couple broken parts, and then I took it apart. I primed each piece, and then painted them a dover white. I used a dark brown glaze(someone else had chosen the color but didn't like it) I got it for half price at Magnusons. I applied it on the dry paint, and then wiped it with a damp cloth. It turned out really cute. I can't wait to get some old glass handles on the doors.Total cost:
1 can of primer-$4.00
4 cans spray paint-$15.00
New Hardware-$16.00
= $35.00 and a brand new dresser!
I attended a information session about Picasa hosted by Morgan. I think I know have a handle on how to edit my own photos. How exciting!
You should all be waiting anxiously for my next project. Yes, it does involve the color pink.

Very nice Whitney. I wish you had posted before and after pictures. I know it's hard to remember to do that. I might have some hardware, but not sure what I did with the old handles off the dresser in the little bedroom. If I find them, I will let you know. They were glass, if I remember right, but it will cost you a trip to Idaho.
Gosh, a trip to Idaho. Done. I have the before pictures in Salt Lake. I will repost them next week. I just was so excited to get these up, and didn't want to wait.
It looks great whit!
I LOVE IT!!! WAY TO GO WHIT! So cute, so I guess you will be coming to Idaho soon?????? Please do, My dad was telling me that there are cute glass knobs at Porters, your favorite store in ID. Well I await your arrival... :) Once again very impressed by your work, I look forward to seeing more projects and way to go on the Picasa! Applause all the way around!
I remember it, why do I remember it? Oh because it's mine. Is the pregnant lady still on the inside cover?
Thanks for your help on the job stuff..
Why was there a picture of a pregnant lady on the inside of the old cabinet? Miranda? Whitney? The cabinet looks great. YOu should be proud of your creativity and your work.
The pregnant lady was a crayon drawing done by a very young Miranda. It is still very much visible.
