I'm back to blogging this week. Wow~ I've been busy and I'm staying busy but that's good. :) I had friends in town from Wisconsin over the weekend. We had a great time; I'll post photos later.
Painting furniture has been latest home project. Oh My Lanta... it's so hard! I re-painted a dresser, 2 nightstands, and a mirror. Also, I changed the hardware. I'm planning on sanding the edges of the furniture to create a shabby chic appearance. Currently, the furniture has a slight shabby appearance but I think it could use a more shabby feel.
~BEFORE~
Is it pine? My mom would DIE!!! She would have paid a pretty penny for those.
ReplyDeleteamazing! i need some tips. i've bought some pieces for the baby's nursery and i want to whitewash them. did you use a foam brush, roller, or a regular brush? did you prime? give me some tips!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I love the pink knobs!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE them! They look great! I am such a big fan of white furniture!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE them!! They look completely different now - in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you!!! The furniture looks GREAT! good job :) love the hardware.
ReplyDeleteseriously gorgeous!!! I want your furniture now :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I wouldn't worry about making it look shabbier b/c everyday wear and tear will happen quickly and it will be more authentic.
ReplyDeleteI think I might be in love with that dresser! And I'm awfully impressed with how much better the nightstand looks after being painted.
ReplyDeleteVery Shabby Chic! Love it!!! You did a fabulous job. I decided to repaint our mahogany sleigh bed a few months ago and forgot to tell hubby (wink). He came home early and when he opened the garage door found half the bed dripping in white paint. I could hear him scream, MONKEY!!! (That's his nickname for me). I knew I was in BIG trouble. But it turned out alright, he finished painting the bed for me, hee, hee...I told him, You did a good job. It looks great! But he didn't smile.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! My daughter has a similar pine bedroom set that consists of a very sturdy and HUGE queen canopy bed, nitestand and large armoire... I've considered painting it for a long time, but now that I see the results of yours, I just may brave out and paint it. My inlaws would fall over, and they don't understand painting over perfectly good solid wood... but it's just a little too rustic for my taste!! :) Looks great...you should post some painting steps/tips!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Hugs,

ReplyDeleteYou have such a cute blog here! I would have never thought to paint that rustic furniture white with a shabby chic vibe. They look great!

ReplyDeletelooks great...you do the cutest things!!!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! LOVE the hardware. Great job, Jill!
ReplyDeleteYou should post some tips/tricks on your painting process! I'm definitely one of those people that gets overwhelmed by how to take on these types of projects...Do I sand by hand or with a sander? How rough should my sand paper be? Do I paint with a roller or a brush?! Looks like you've figured it out, though!
LOVE, LOVE LOVE it!! What great transformations!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing job!
ReplyDeleteyou've been busy! i've got some painting to do myself but i keep putting it off! i love your grandmas silver too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how some paint and hardware can really transform a piece of furniture! (but it is hard work...great job!)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! You did a wonderful job. It doesn't even look like the same furniture. I really like the new hardware you added too.
