A year ago I purchased a few pieces of French Provincial furniture to go into my little girl's room but before I could get started on those pieces I became sick. After 9 months I am finally feeling myself again and I am very happy to be doing what I love to do - being creative. So let me show you what I have been working on the last couple of weeks.
Here is a before picture of the dresser -
Here is the dresser and headboard now. I made my own chalk paint. I used a product called Websters Paint Chalk power and the paint color is called Dove White by Glidden, however when I had the paint sample pod made I had them make it with the Behr's brand.
The top I sealed with water base poly coat in a satin finish, but the drawers and the sides I used ASCP clear wax.
Here is a close-up of the drawers and the other pieces. I painted the sides of the drawers and the vintage mirror in True Turquoise by Glidden Paint and I lined the drawer with this cute bubble gum wrapping paper I found at Marshalls. My sweet girl love glitter so I gave her this glitterly "G" for her room and she loves it.

I like the inside of the drawers. Very cute! I have 2 headboards to do as well and haven't gotten around to it. One day. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!!!
I am not of fan of headboards or chairs, but when I can finish them it's great. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOh it's dreamy--nice job!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you chose....and those drawer liners are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Your daughter's room is going to look so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces and can't wait to see the room - it's going to be beautiful with that turqoise.
ReplyDeleteVanessa! I love the way it turned out and the details and assesories really pull it all together. Your daughter is a lucky girl!

It looks great! Glad to hear you're feeling better! :)
ReplyDeleteI love white. I bought a bed for $20 this weekend that I will probably go white with.
ReplyDeleteI love them! Tried a dresser makeover myself recently and I'm not at all happy with the result. Can't wait to give it another go!
ReplyDeleteI love how clean and crisp white furniture is. Such pretty pieces too! I'll bet your daughter is so excited:)
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Wendi. I loved that you stopped by. Have a great week.
DeleteSo pretty! You did such a great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love! Did you use your own recipe to make the chalk paint or did you use one that you found online? That white is so, so pretty and I love the blue mirror, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the lines to these pieces - they look wonderful - the added touches you gave for your daughter make them special! I am so delighted you stopped by that I might return the call!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kathy
