Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Party Number 61!

Howdy!  I haven’t been doing a ton of furniture makeovers since I have been focusing on my house (more on that later this week!), but I wanted to take this chance to remind you all of the Habitat Heroes Link Party, where every piece linked up most be a piece of furniture being donated to a charity or cause somehow.  The goal is to give back to the community and to the places where we discover many of our finds!  So this week, I am sharing a dresser I will be donating to the local Goodwill.

This dresser was given to me by a client…. it was hers as a baby, and she had no more use for it but wanted it to be given some love.  She gave it to me, as she thought I could love it.  Unfortunately, I do not have a before picture, but had old creamy glossy dirty paint and some mint green on it as well.  the knobs were wooden int green, chipped.  It was just in a sad state!  I gave the whole thing a sanding, and then mixed a color of chalk paint using Antibes Green, Napoleonic Blue, and Paris Gray.  I wanted it to be closer to the Antibes Green, but not quite as bright.  I gave it two coats of paint, and then used an idea I saw at Paint in My Hair.  Here is the dresser that inspired my stripes….

Since I didn’t know who would be buying my dresser from Goodwill, I decided to keep it on the neutral side with green and then added stripes in Paris Gray.  I gave it a good distressing and added some oil rubbed bronze knobs.  Here it is….

I would encourage all of you to think about donating a piece to a good cause and share it at the Habitat Heroes Link Party!  Oh, and buy the way, did I mention that by linking up you could possibly win $115 in gift cards from such places as Anthropologie?  Yup.

Anyhow, let’s see what you have been working on this week!
RULES:
1. Must be a follower of my blog.
2. MUST BE A FURNITURE MAKEOVER OR BUILD…. no crafts!
3. Place my button or a text link in your post or sidebar.
4.  Must be a new link to this party- no repeats please!
5. No etsy shops!

Please visit other links and leave some comment love!  Party on!

    Love the stripes! Just looks so refreshing to me. What a great idea to donate a piece to charity. I am going to start thinking of what I should donate and where it should go. Thanks for hosting!

    I have a perfect candidate sitting in the studio (garage) for a striped paint treatment. Yours looks wonderful. I like the handles being lined up in the stripe. Thanks for showing it off.
