Rustic Farmhouse Dresser

This is what half water / half paint looks like! Brush on, wipe off...brush on, wipe off!  I needed a pretty weathered piece to achieve this look. I was planning to stain this piece in navy but decided on a different direction after I began to clean it up.  As most of my projects do, the dresser looks different than I planned but love the outcome. 

This dresser has served a full life already, but looks to stand another 60 years.  It's solid and very heavy. I used a wax to protect the surface and the finish. 

I replaced the old ugly hardware with these simple classic cup pulls in the bronze finish. 

I'm positive my love affair for this color will never end...I mean, really? How can you not dram of the ocean every time you see this color?

Best to all,

Dionne

Turquoise Dresser Featuring the Sea at Dusk

Hello Friends!

I'm really excited about this makeover.  I walked passed this dresser at least 4 weeks in a row.  But then...I had a vision...

I can't wait to see who buys this and I'll have to ask where they plan to put it in their home.  This is truly a one of a kind piece of furniture!

Here is the dated "before" look...

Much improved, right? This piece is available on my Etsy shop, HERE.

Turquoise Antique Dresser / Buffet

One of a Kind Show Stopper piece!!!

 I've sanded and refinished the top in an antique walnut. The dresser has 4 different colors on it for a worn, weathered unique look. This piece is solid wood and in great condition.

This piece would be amazing in a large entry or dining space. But, how fun would it also be in your modern eclectic bedroom? 

The knobs are unexpected, I know.  But, I like them...a lot! 

I love how the top finished out and so glad I didn't paint it like I had originally planned. I'd love to see this in someone's dining area!

This dresser / buffet is available on my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Iris.

Turquoise Dresser Accented with a Peacock

My passion for color shows in this dresser.  I did several of these "peacock" pieces last year and I've been craving to do another.  It must be the Spring that does it to me.  I love using bold color. I understand this is NOT what everyone loves but I am not trying to copy anyone.  There are a ton of fabulous people who makeover furniture.  I'm looking to "brand" my name and my style.  My goal to painting is finding the right piece and matching it up with the right color /s for a "one of a kind" look.  I think I'm headed in the right direction.  

This texture turned out beautifully.  I was trying to add volume to the paint colors. And, my goodness, everybody needs to run out to Anthropologie and grab yourself those yummy little bowls! The prints are gorgeous!

This piece sold within 10 minutes of listing it for sale!  I have received so much positive feedback today and I've been called a "true artist".  Seriously, aside from any motherhood comment, that is the BEST compliment I could receive! Thank you so much:-)

When I purchased this piece, there were red hibiscus flowers painted on the front doors.  Now, I love that beautiful tropical plant...just not on furniture.  I brought out several shades of blue and green for this one...( dreaming of the ocean )
