Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Party Number 45!

by 58 Comments

It’s party time!  I can’t wait to see what you have been up to this week…. as far as FURNITURE projects go!  I have completed 3 dressers this week.  I showed you the orange dresser yesterday, and I was going to save this one for later and share a boring old coffee table today, but I am too excited.  I am hoping this one will work in my own room, but with Chris away, I need to wait to move it up the stairs.  I got it in the house and down the stairs by myself, but that was before I painted it and I don’t want to knick it.  And I apologize for the not so great picture but I was only able to move it into our family room by myself.  Anyhow, here is the before picture of my dresser, a $30 Salvation Army find…

 I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do to this one.  I had been searching for a dresser to use just for this treatment.  I am sure many of you have seen this dresser in blogland.  And maybe you fell like I did?  Love. At. First. Sight.

So I headed over to my local Sherwin Williams and perused colors… I found a sample card that had Glimmer (the lightest) , Tidewater, Watery (which was very close to Tidewater, so I had them amp it up 20%), and Drizzle.  I already had a can of Snowbound at home for the body of the dresser. 
I sanded the dresser and have it 3 coats of Kilz Clean Start primer on the body, and 2 coats on the drawers.  Each drawer got 3 coats of paint (I bought sample sizes by the way to save money).  And the dresser got 3 coats of the Snowbound.  And here it is now!  I love it and hope it can hold my TV and cable box in my room so I can keep it. 🙂

So let’s see the furniture greatness you guys have waiting for me!

    I have been loving that inspiration dresser and have been searching for one for my daughter’s room makeover. I’m so happy that you found one and to see it reproduced “in real life.” Yours looks amazing and makes me want to find the perfect dresser even more! Thanks again for hosting.

    Cassie that graduated look is so in right now (shower curtain from Anthro) and it turned out beautiful. So smart to buy sample sizes, your paint guys must really like you!

    Cassie, that dresser turned out beautifully! I love the shading. Too bad you don’t live closer, I think I already had 3 of those 4 colors in samples from SW from my oldest daughters room color search a couple years ago! Keep the dresser! Deb

    Amazing. It’s so funny, when I saw the first picture, I thought to myself, I hope she doesn’t paint that awesome dresser. I’m so glad you did, its beautiful. You definitely need to keep it.

    That is the perfect piece for that treatment! I love it! I bet we’ll be seeing a whole lot of people giving that a try, including me. As always, I’m inspired. You make we want to head out to the garage to paint!

    Oh my word! I love your mid-century modern dresser, I love what you did with it and if I were you, I could not bear to let that go. Awesome!

    I liked this dresser when I first saw your post. But today (23rd) Husband and I were out “estate saleing” and found a cute dresser for $20. I told him I saw this graded paint treatment that would be perfect for it. He couldn’t picture it so I went back and found your dresser. Now I realize why I thought it was a perfect treatment: Its the exact dresser as yours only with five drawers! I’ll post when he’s done!

    LOVE it, Cassie! Question: why did you buy all diff colors as opposed to just adding white to the darkest each time? I’ve finally painted some furniture again, so I can’t wait to get in on your paint parties!

Piece of Work Wednesday Furniture Link Party Number 31!

It’s party time!  We are leaving in a few to go to Emmy’s dance class pictures, so let’s get this party started!

I bought this simple little table at Goodwill for $8.  It was plain and a good canvas for something fun.  I had a pull I bought 3 years ago that I had been saving for a simple piece, and this was it. (It’s the one on the right in the pic- the one on the left is done, too, but I am going to save that reveal since the kids are home on break this week and I might not otherwise have something to share next week!)

I removed its original brass hardware, filled holes, and sanded it all down.  I primed it and painted it a turquoise oops color from Benjamin Moore’s Aura paint.  I then gave it a good distressing by hand, waxed it for protection, and drilled new holes to add my fun pull.  I also added a paper to the drawer that coordinated with the pull.  And here she is now!

Rules as always…
1. FURNITURE MAKEOVERS ONLY. (new builds count, too).  Please don’t make me delete your adorable craft.
2. Must be new to POWW.  Doesn’t have to be a new post, just new here.
3. Add my button to your sidebar or post.
4. Please link directly to your post, and not just to your blog.
5. NO Etsy shops.
So what have you been up to?
