{Navy Blue 3-Drawer Dresser}

[SOLD]

I have had this little guy sitting in my basement for a couple of months. When I saw him, I knew he needed a fun make-over, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.

I really liked the handles and the simple lines. I do a lot of more feminine pieces, so I wanted to try something for the boys (not that this would be for a boy specifically, but you know, generally...) I loved the way the colours worked with the desk I did in January and I decided use that as inspiration for this dresser.

I primed it and painted it a nice light navy blue from Benjamin Moore. I went with orange on the legs and mirror support as well as on the slim little line details on the double handled drawer. I used the original hardware and sprayed it a cheery green.

It is lightly distressed so any distressing added by an active kiddo will not be a problem! I am thrilled with how cheerful this sweet guy seems.

32.75" high (58" with mirror)

33" wide

15.75" deep

{Sofa, So Good Table}

[SOLD]

This is an fantastic sofa table with really great lines and subtle detail. I picked it up on Kijiji looking like this:

This is screaming of the 90s. The honey blond needed a touch up... This is solid oak and a really lovely piece, but please!

I painted it using a dark grey called Midsummer Night from Benjamin Moore (one of my favourite neutrals right now). I tried to distress it mainly to highlight the details on the apron area and the legs. I am such a sucker for a sofa table and I don't know why...

47" wide

28" high

18.25" deep
