Rescue: Antique Dresser

 I LOVE refinishing old furniture! Most of the pieces in my condo are things I just couldn’t pass up on craigslist or at a flea market. Since I only have an 1100 sq ft place at this point it is pretty much filled with all my beautiful redone pieces. However when I found this old diamond in the ruff on craigslist a while back I just couldn’t pass it up! It’s lovely unique detailing in the wood, dove-tailed drawers, and overall attention to detail was just music to my ears. It was just waiting for a little love. Below are before and after pics of the project. I painted it gray because I have been in love with gray furniture lately. The wood details I tried to show off even more by using a charcoal – silver accent paint. I finished it off with a poly coating to help resist chipping. If you like it – send me an email because I just don’t have a home for it!

 And here is the re-do!

 

I am asking $200. Dimensions: 45” W x 37.5” H x 20” D.

Living Room Inspiration

Some fun inspiration for this sunday afternoon. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Love all the green tones!

All those pillows mixed and piled together create such a cozy and welcoming home!

I love how this couch takes center stage to pop this room. So often we see the pops come from pillows and accenssories – this is so bold. I love the pop.

This couch plays so well with this modern space and the beautiful windows.

Great print mixing.

This blue color reminds me of Carrie Bradshaws re done apartment in the first movie – enough said.

One Chair Three Ways

Recently I have fallen in love with the new Belgian Arm Chair from Serena and Lilly. I love the small size of the chair and it just such a cozy addition to any room. Serena and Lilly always has such great fabric offerings making it impossible for me to ever choose which one I like the best – so here we don’t have to! I put together 3 of my favorite fabrics to show how the chair changes depending on the base. Happy Friday!
