When in Doubt, Add Teal!!! White & Gray Dresser Makeover

That's a wrap, my Friends!!

This is #5 of Part III in my "Doors" Series. 

I loved every minute of this series. Not only did I learn new techniques, I also explored my own creativity and allowed myself to just "play" with the paint.  I started using Heirloom Traditions Paint and fell in love with their colors, especially Steamer Trunk, Feathered Nest and Alexandrite.  

I have been pinning door images on my Pinterest page titled, Doors Around the World.  This collection of images has been the greatest source of inspiration for me. I encourage you all to find something that inspires, motivates and helps to develop your creativity.  It's so rewarding and actually very necessary for some of us!

 Fresh flowers make everything so pretty! 

Why do they have to die?!?!

Ahhh, fresh flowers. 

Don't they make everything prettier?

My motto, no doubt!

I think this piece is perfect for almost any room.  It's small enough to accent a hall or entry but the drawers are large enough to hold plenty of linens or clothing. 

I'm listing this today on my Etsy shop, www.theturquoiseiris.com and I can't wait to see where it ends up.

I've been planning my next series and I can't wait to show you the first piece!! I've just started using a few products from General Finishes and also CeCe Caldwell.  Please stay tuned, should be fun!

Lastly, check out this picture!  My client purchased the Otomi print buffet and she sent me a photo of how she styled it in her home. I'm in love!

Other Tidbits from The Turquoise Iris

 I often post photos on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and forget to post them here on my blog.  I flipped through a few on my phone and decided to share a few today.  

The picture to the right is me.  I didn't have anything to paint that day so I played with pictures instead!  

The shop where I sell my furniture now, Robinson's Eclectic Marketplace, asked me to submit a description of my business and work for them so this is what I put together. Since writing that, I've been thinking more and more about the direction I'd like to take my business.  I still have so many questions in the air!

The last three images are all pieces I've painted and wanted to give them a little more attention or highlight some of their details. I love seeing the texture and layers of paint up close but it's often hard to capture that through a camera.  

The coral cabinet and the metallic round table are currently available!

Enjoy your week!

I know it's bold, I know it's different and I know it's not for everyone.  But, I love it...Absolutely and completely.  And, if it doesn't sale, I get to keep it!!

I found this paper and knew this piece would be getting to know this print very well.  I love the insets with the gold trimmed pieces. It's a "One of a Kind" for sure.

Here is what the buffet looked like before I started the makeover.

 I'll be sharing this before and after with Marion over at Miss Mustard Seed's Friday Furniture Features.
