From This to This

Quite some time ago, I purchased this very plain and ugly dresser from a thrift store.  I was going to use it in my sewing studio to hold various supplies and I wasn't too concerned about how it looked. But then the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.  The many drawers are a good size without being too big.  I thought with a coat of paint and some new hardware, I could give it a whole new look.


The color palette for the new house is aquas and teals and bluey greens so I painted it with some chalk paint, color Provence.   I ordered some new drawer pulls from a listing on Ebay and I am very pleased with them.  There are bubbles in the glass which gives them an interesting look.  I am pleased with how the ugly white dresser turned out.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought some bedside lamps at Walmart.  They were quite inexpensive and the right color.  When I got them home, I realized the lamp finials weren't included which may be why they were so inexpensive.  So I went on Etsy and found these lovely vintage glass finials.  The glass also has bubbles in it and a slight aquamarine tone to the glass.  A perfect addition to our new bedroom decor.
