When I last left you, this was the state of the dresser that we purchased for the Nursery. After testing to make sure it didn't have lead paint in it- which it didn't- yay; I then had to decide what we were going to do with it, and specifically if I was going to do it myself. Although I feel my pregnancy has been fairly easy (knock on wood) all things concerned, the one struggle that I have consistently had to deal with is not being able to do everything I want to do independently. Asking for help is hard, especially when you are used to doing things on your own and you enjoy doing those things.
That said, my super friend Dixie Anne agreed to paint the dresser for me, and I couldn't be happier. She has been keeping me updated by texting photos of her progress:
1. Here are the drawers all primed (love your thumb DA)!!!
2. Here is the frame primed and ready for paint!
3. And here is the finished product she texted me last night- so exciting:)
The next step for this project, will be to replace the handles for an updated look. My dream handles are little white anchors from Anthropologie, but for $10 a pop, i'm not sure they're worth it. Here are some of the ones I have liked so far.
What do you think? Any that stand out as favourites in your mind?
Like the white enamel with the rope trim...hmmm, wooden rope trim could be added to the facing of the drawers and painted either the blue or white...hmmm
ReplyDeleteThe rope idea is a fun one!
ReplyDeleteIf you are going for a nautical look you could use some low cost boat cleats for drawer pulls.
