Something To Be Said For Rash Decisions

I went through the South Asheville Goodwill last week like Sherman through Atlanta.  I just had a minute or two to kinda scope out the furniture section…..and thank God I did.

If Big Daddy knew I was even thinking about painting something that close to his Bike he would have a Duck Fit.  Maybe he shouldn’t leave me home alone…..

I snapped this dresser and one other piece up like a shot.  I already had a Jeep full of other stuff so I couldn’t even take them with me.  I went back two days later for both of them and set about cleaning the dresser up and picking a paint color.

I sanded the old finish off the top but I didn’t want to sand out all of the imperfections.  I really love how stain, or in my case Dark wax settles in to these.  It makes for a much cooler natural top in my opinion. Lord knows I don’t want anything too perfect.  There is no danger of that around here……

The back of this thing is the BOMB!.

I think the entire dresser is hand made.

I went with white on this one.  I honestly thought that any other color might detract from the piece.  I am crazy about this piece!  I swear if I had the space in my own kitchen this would be on wheels in there as a kitchen island.

Love how that top came out:)))

I almost never keep the original hardware on a piece but

#1 It was screwed in from the front and I couldn’t get it off.

#2 They are copper and I loved them!

You know most of the time when I don’t look over a piece of furniture really well, check out the drawers, sniff it, all that, it bites me in the butt.  HARD.  This time I honestly made out pretty good .

I decided to sand the daylights outa this dresser.

 That’s quite the departure for me.  I am usually a ‘linear distressing’ girl.

Big Daddy ain’t so sure about ‘sand the daylights out of it’ girl.

Have a safe and happy 4th!
