Another Paris Gray Dresser

April 10, 2013 by Cassie 34 Comments

So before I get into this makeover, let me tell you about my day yesterday, because I know you all come here to hear about what time I flossed my teeth and stuff, right?  πŸ™‚  OK, so really it won’t be that boring.

It started out with an early morning run with my friends, and as soon as I got home at 7:20, Chris was out the door headed to work, and wasn’t going to be home until 11 pm.  So I fed the kids, packed lunches, made beds, made sure the kids were dressed appropriately, and then the three of us walked to the bus stop with Jake. (Side note, our bus driver LOOOVES Jake.  When he sees her he sounds just like that husky that says “I love you”, and she gets a kick out of it.)  Anyhow, we sent the kids off to school, and I headed home with Jake, loaded my car up to take furniture, including the dresser you are about to see, over to the barn.  Sarah and I busted out buts for almost 3 hours moving furniture since we were moving into a bigger space, but had to move the other vendor’s items out of that space and into our old one as well.  It was a lot of work, but we are thrilled with the results which we will share next week.  Anyhow, after that I came home and had some time to tidy up the house and relax.  Jake and I headed back to the bus stop together to walk the kids home, and then we had one hour to get home work done, send Sawyer off to the neighbors, who were taking him to soccer.  Emmy and I headed off to dance.  We got home, ate, and showered, and that was where the day fell apart….

I went to turn off the shower…. and it would not turn off!!!  It was 8:30 at this time, and the kids needed to go to bed… Instead of tucking them in, I was removing panels and searching with a flashlight for a shut off I never found.  So as of right now while I type this, the hot water is dribbling out.  I have called our home warranty company, but man… is it just me or does this stuff always happen on the worst nights?!?!?!

So right now, I am taking deep breaths, and my gym clothes are already set out so I can get up in the morning and blow off some steam!

Ok, let’s get to more fun things than plumbing leaks… like furniture makeovers!  This dresser was part of the great furniture haul of March. πŸ™‚

It was part of the set with the Paris gray dresser I shared last week….

So I thought I would give it the same look, just in case someone wanted to purchase a set.  Here it is after its Paris Gray chalk paint makeover…

And there you have it!  Another paris gray dresser… And now hope that buy the time you read this I have blown off my steam, heard from the warranty company and someone is on their way to fix our faucet….. in a perfect world!  I can dream!

    Oh no plumbing and electrical stuff is the worst and stuff like that always happens at night, doesn’t it. For us it has paid off many time that our neighbor and friend is a plumber πŸ˜‰ I wish you good luck!!!
    Love this Paris Grey dresser too. Looks awesome!

    Oh Cassie, those things to seem to happen at the worst possible times. Good thing you have a home warranty. Hopefully you ran your little heart out this morning and by this afternoon, all your plumbing problems will be solved. Love the dresser too. Such a soft soothing color.

    There is never a good time for plumbing problems! We came home from a week long camp 2 summers ago to find a big chunk of our ceiling in the kitchen floor with water pouring out! We were only home for 2 days before we were gone again. What a nightmare! Good luck with your situation! The dresser looks amazing! Life to the full! Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle

    Well you and your shower must be squeaky clean after that water incident! Hope it’s all fixed – isn’t it annoying to be a homeowner sometimes?
    Love the new dresser – that is a cool piece with the doors on the top. Pretty details and hardware too!

    Bummer about your plumbing…none of that stuff is fun and it does always seem to happen at the most inopportune times. I specifically remember taking a shower in high school, hair all soaped up and everything and our water went out… :/ Lucky for me (I think) it was raining out so I went out in my towel to rinse off. Ha! Hope it’s something super simple and inexpensive! πŸ˜‰
    Love the chest, too…so pretty. And congrats on the new bigger space! Exciting!

    That is gorgeous! Cute story about Jake! So sorry about plumbing debacle! Hopefully all fixed by the time you read this! Our pilot light went out yesterday, which I did not discover until I took a lady minute shower. Yep, those things always happen at the worst times!

    I’m reading this late. I hope you didn’t drown today. My plumber lives a block away. He’s also known as my father-in-law. It’s quite handy.

    Hope you got your plumbing problem fixed! That’s great you have a home warranty. Those problems always seem to happen at night or the weekends! I think I have your twin to that Paris Gray dresser! I did mine in the same color….same exact dresser. You did a beautiful job Cassie. That will sell quickly.

    That Paris Grey is amazing. Maybe I will paint next house that color. Your furniture makeovers are beautiful no matter what color you choose.

    Looks lovely, Cassie! Someone will scoop that right up. Sorry about the shower. Hopefully it’s been fixed by now. Reading that makes me want to get a home warranty too. I’ve been thinking about it!

    And these gorgeous pieces just keep comin’ and comin’! Love it! Hope the plumbing issue is resolved tonight. And as a formal military spouse I will say, that nothing catastrophic ever seems to happen when our brawny men are about to solve the problem. It’s a law or something…

    whoa – the shower wouldn’t turn off? ALWAYS happens when you can’t get someone immediately.

    Another beautiful piece!
