My love affair with furniture.

I love furniture.  And even more, I love transforming furniture to my taste and style.

I found this lovely chest of drawers on Craigslist Saturday and the second he emailed me back with "Come on over",  I dragged my sweet husband out the door and we skedaddled to pick this beauty up.

Here is the before photo:

I wanted to paint it, but wasn't sure what color. I debating on doing a trendy color such as a soft yellow (the walls in our bedroom are gray and everyone knows the hot color combo is grey and yellow!)  but ultimately decided to go traditional so that I could always use this piece whever we live in the future.

I found a  whole gallon of mis-tint at Home Depot for $5 buckaroos and it was the perfect Antique White (in fact, that was the name of the color!) 

Sanded her down, applied a coat of primer, and did two coats of Antique White.

Here's the result:

(Of course, the day I wanted to take some great photos, it's rainy and cloudy...my apologies for the grainy photos)

I am in love.

The soft white and creamy grey make me smile.

Wanna know the best part?

Don't mind the pile of dirty laundry in the corner. hehe! ;)

Now, off to find another Craigslist makeover!

Love,

Kait
