Piece of Work Wednesday Link Party Number 27!

I am going to start the party early because I am busy working on a project, and I have to go to work tonight to teach some muscle pump. Yeah.  And after that it will be dinner time, bath for the kids, and then of course, Glee.  And I can hardly keep this post saved anymore because I am about to explode.

I am soooo excited to show you my makeover today!  Remember this awesome triple dresser I got at the Salvation army?
Pin
Well, Bridget (of the coral table) had been on the hunt for a large dresser for the area at the top of her stairs.  After I had gone to her house and seen the area, we decided that a cheerful yellow would be perfect!  Oh, and by the way, I am heading to Bridget’s house next Friday for a photo shoot so I can give you a tour soon!  Anyhow, I headed to my local Ben Moore dealer to get their gloss enamel paint.  I chose “Yellow Raincoat”.  Another color I liked was called “American Cheese” but the name kinda ruined it for me.  I didn’t want her dresser to make me think of cheese.  Bridget also wanted the hardware painted white, but it was missing one pull, so I replaced the top two pulls with glass knobs.  And I am so happy with how it all came together.

As a sidenote, I should add that I asked the gal at the paint counter if I should get a tinted primer.  She told me I would be finw tih two coats of primer.  I used my Kilz Clean Start and used two coats.  I should have either used more coats of that, or gone with a tinted primer like my gut had told me, because after the two coats of primer, I painted this bad boy with 6, yes 6 coats, of the yellow paint.  Lesson learned!

And a sidenote to my sidenote… shortly after I wrote this post I received an email from a client, Angela.  Angela had purchased some items from me a couple of years ago, and her then boyfriend was so kind and helped carry everything.  They just seemed like a perfect match to me- I felt their energy and love for each other.  I hope that doesn’t sound to weird.  I felt so stronlgy about it that I emailed her and told her I thought she had a good thing with him and a wonderful connection.  Well, she wrote today to tell me that I should always go with my guts, because I have good ones.  Angela and her then boyfriend were engaged last month!  Congrats!!!!

So, what have you been up to?  Remember the rules….

1. FURNITURE MAKEOVERS ONLY.  Starting this week, I will be deleting all other entries.  I am not trying to be mean, but it is frustrating when people aren’t reading what the party is about and just linking to link.
2. Add my button (on the sidebar) to your post or your sidebar.
3. Link directly to your post and not a general link to your blog.
4. No etsy or other shops. It is ok if you are selling your item, but it must just be a blog post about the piece you have finished.
5. Please link only projects you have NOT ALREADY SHARED HERE.  They can be old, just nre to POWW.
Here we go!

I am working on my nightstands right now and I’d like to save money by reusing the current hardware, but they are the swingy type handles and I’m not sure how to properly paint them! Thanks so much!

    It’s beautiful!! I love the glass knobs! Oooh, that reminds me. If you have a TJ Maxx nearby, you might want to check and see if they have knobs. I found the most beautiful blue porcelain knobs there the other day. I didn’t get them since I don’t have anything they would work on, but you probably keep a stash of knobs and might like them. Anyway, thanks for hosting. I finally get to link something up!

Piece of Work Wednesday Link Party Number 23!

Happy (almost) Wednesday!  I have a dresser redo to share with you today, and I admit it may not be that exciting because it is the same color I used for last week’s POWW.   This dresser was really sad before, but bursting at the seams with potential, just waiting for some love!

Pin

Not only did it look sad, but it was missing a back entirely, and the top drawer was missing a wood piece to fill the hollow area above the drawer.  So when the top drawer was pulled out, it immediately tipped forward.  I took a trip to Home Depot and had them cut a piece of MDF to size.  I also had a piece of a 1″ x 2″ cut to fit inside the top area and I glued it and wedged it into place.  Now the drawer glides out perfectly!  Once that was done, I sanded the piece down, and used my Ben Moore Aura Newburg Green.  It went on beautifully with just 2 coats, and then I gave it a little distressing to show the details, and antiqued it with Minwax Golden Oak stain.  Here it is now!

    Gorgeous…that color is so rich and warm at the same time! I have so many projects that I want to share, but I need to wait ’till the weather gets warmer to paint…don’t have a space to do what I want to do, so I need the outdoors!
    And Cassie your comment on my blog today made me laugh so hard!!!

    I’m still trying to wrap my head around how you fixed that drawer….and also your comment on why Just Dance 2 isn’t in the stories of a house care package – you seriously crack me up!

    thanks for hosting, dear friend 🙂

    I love how said it looked in the before photo with one missing pull and one pull hanging by a thread. The after is like a shining beacon of awesome gorgeousness. It is seriously breathtaking. Love it.

    I’m new to your blog. Saw your redo on Shabby Chic cottage. I was drawn to the color of that dresser. But when I got here I see you fixed the drawer so it would slide out perfectly. do you think you could give more of a tutorial on that for those of us who need pictures on how to figure stuff out 🙂 I have a bathroom vanity that was made out of an old dresser, but the drawers have no glides and are horrible to open. Please help! 🙂

    Just saw your dresser @Finding Fabulous & had to stop by. You did a wonderful job with the color and distressing! This reminds me very much of my beloved green distressed dresser, which was a not-so-frugal find @ a local antique store!

    What aura finish did you use? It’s a beautiful piece. I’m using Newburgh for the island.

      hi suzanne! i believe i used the eggshell… the satin aura is more of a semigloss, so i always go down one from what i want. 🙂
