Striped Love

Oh I love it so! 
I know it's naked as a jay bird handle wise but I promise you I'm just holding out for the perfect ones. 

 

In the mean time I just had to show you what a $1 can of pale blue sample paint, some leftover white paint, and a little tape can do (makes me do a happy dance) for a tired old dresser.

I'm currently deciding on the handles, I'd love to make some like we did with our kitchen knobs
but I think some brushed nickel bin pulls would look pretty snazzy on her too.


Now all I need is to get my desk all finished and I will finally have my Ma'am Cave!
I think I'll have to share this in a few places,
like these:







Blue Stripey Peace!

  1. This is so cute, I love the stripes too! Following you now too. I just am in the middle of painting my bath cabs cream and blue. I love how it is coming along.

  2. How about those little roundish-squareish glass knobs? They come in all kinds of pale or dark colors, and I think the crystal clear or cobalt blue would look amazing? But then again, I am a huge fan of brushed nickle!

  5. I love it. The stripes are subtle but beautiful and it's such a neat piece to begin with. Great job!

  6. Looks great, the knobs in your kitchen are amazing, what a fun idea. My favorite babysitter (age 14) has Ulceritive Colitis, and had to take her Colon out this week. That would be a hard thing to live with. Anyway, I am sure you will find some great pulls, I have found some great ones on Ebay.

  7. Thanks for stopping by Merrilee. I love your dresser. Unlike some people I love the older waterfall dressers, they remind me of my mom's old bedroom furniture.
