Dresser dressing

I think I have settled on these knobs from Anthropologie (of course) for the dresser. They mach perfectly with the wall color in our kitchen and I think will offset perfectly with the dresser. YUMMY!

While it's not completely done I couldn't help but post where I am at currently with the dresser I will be putting in my kitchen in the next week or so. I am in love with how it is turning out. My wife is too, and is already putting my next redo project on the docket....lol, HA...oh well. It has been fun I must say, but very time consuming. The 2 things I have left to do is sand the top down a lil to knock down some of the paint, distress, distress, distress, and possibly some poly to coat the top surface. then it should be complete. Let me know what you think about it. Oh BTW one lesson learned, NEVER PAINT OUTSIDE IN THE COLD. Trust me, no bueno!

It took more time then I thought it might to sand through the poly or whatever type of finish this piece originally had on it. 

So here are the drawers sanded down before I filled the extra holes with wood putty.

I free handed some flowers inspired by a dresser I saw online one day. Once finished I will purchase some jeweled style knobs this week for the drawers, which I think will add a very nice touch.

Here is a picture of the dresser I found online that inspired the flowers I painted free hand.

Dresser Redo

So over the holiday I took some time to start a project I have been thinking about for some time now. It's a dresser reno that I decided I would actually use for my kitchen instead of in the bedroom. It will add counter space *which we need desperately, and add storage & style as well. I have sanded it, filled extra holes with wood putty, and primed (2 coats) the main dresser. Today when I get home I am going to finish sanding down the drawers, and hopefully prime them as well. It looks like I should be done just in time to ring the New Year in with a great addition to my kitchen reno project. I will also get new knobs for the rest of our cabinets as well to match the knobs I get for the dresser. I will post progress pics soon to share. The pic below is a dresser similar in style, so you have an idea of how my dresser looks. Keep in mind it is not my dresser, just a pic i pulled off the internet.
