Furniture Makeovers Part 2

In my constant & never ending quest for color, I have once again, saved a boring lifeless piece of furniture from oblivion.


This ^^^ is a rather nondescript bureau/dresser we got at our last house. It provides a tidy amount of storage but is nothing to look at.


And the sad, ugly fake bronz-y handles ~which were falling off~ weren't helping things any.

Can't you just hear the dresser? Crying out in angst: "Oh save me! Save me please from this life as ugly boring utilitarian storage device! I want to be pretty! So pretty!"

You can hear that right?

Of course you can.

So because of all the shapes & details & annoying stuff I spray painted this sucker  :)

And look! Ooooooo...



Isn't it pretty? (now for sake of full disclosure ~ it's actually really REALLY turquoise~ like really turquoise~ but it looks almost, um, subdued, in this photo. It's not subdued.Uh uh. Nope.)



See how the sad, fake bronze, falling off pulls are gone? And replaced by the lovely polished silver pulls?

And how the shiny turquoise brings OUT the details of the piece instead of them just being lost in the brown-ness?

Ahhh, yes. A happy dresser. A colorful dresser. A turquoise dresser.

What every piece of furniture aspires to be.

Blessings.
