Revamped dressers: one year later
July 30th, 2010That’s right, friends. I refinished these dressers one.year.ago. and now I’m blogging about them. I knew we’d get rid of all of our cheap Ikea furniture when we left Canada, simply to have less stuff to drag back across the border, so last summer I pilfered these from my parents (thanks, parents). I refinished them during visits home and left them in storage at their house (thanks, parents) until we moved to the 433 in November, when they brought them over to us (…thanks…parents).
I’ve been telling myself since November that eventually I’ll have a day of good light in our cornerofthehouse bedroom for photographing, but it ain’t going to happen. So, here you go:
My dresser, which is actually currently being shared with Mikey. THIS is why I keep getting rid of clothes.
Hazel’s dresser, formerly my mom’s dresser, formerly my grandma’s dresser – I had to strip a LOT of layers of paint off of this cutie. Somewhere, I can’t even begin to remember where, I blogged about my longing for these mint-green glass drawer pulls from Anthropologie to add the finishing touch to her pretty red paint. Shortly afterwards they were gifted to Hazel by sweet sweet sweet Molly. They are delicious and I love them and I love Molly.
Old news. The end.
I took the lint shaver to Andy today. She’s as smooth as new. But still… pretty dirty. I have vowed to hold off on a bath until after we go camping for a week.

Good job! i l ? the green drawer pulls! I have a side table I want to re-finish, but I’m waiting until post-baby so as not to breathe in too many fumes while gestating:)

Oh my goodness! Thank you for remembering. The drawer pulls look lovely! I’m delighted to have a part in the delightful red dresser. Enjoy!
