Red & Retro

I picked up these dressers at an auction 10 years ago for $10.  It was before I even knew how to properly paint furniture, but I painted them white for our Master Bedroom in our first house.  Then, I painted them black when I redesigned our master bedroom.

  Then we moved,
and I gave them to my offspring...
...they stayed scratched -
and yucky for 5 years!
(poor kid)
You'd think I could find someone
who can restore furniture!!

 Now they are Retro Red & Chrome (spraypaint)!  Love it!!!!

(& so does the offspring)

Some really cool curves on these - You can't buy curves like that anymore! 

This is really red in person, not orange.

The Nancy comes out of the closet!

This fancy Nancy dresser is not what she seems!

For decades she gave the illusion she was oak. A masculine dark grain - She fooled us all into thinking she was something she wasn't. It was all in the makeup she was wearing. When I stripped her makeup off, I found out Nancy was actually not oak at all! All this time! For many years I spoke to her like she was oak, and I cared for her as I would for an oak dresser. Well, she has come out of the closet now, and we all accept her for what she is - birch!

To celebrate her liberation, I gave her a new look. A feminine soft look, with just a hint of masculine, to remind her what she once was.

She seems to have a natural glow!

She can't seem to stop smiling now! 

 Her curves seem more curvey!

Don't judge me, but I am in love with Nancy!!

Sharing her beauty to the blog world here:

The "Bobbi-Jo"

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this piece. 

At one time it was a vanity, then someone added a homemade top on it. 

I am not to sure if i will keep this top on it forever, but it will do for now. 

I just find that the shape of the top, doesn't "fit" the shape of the rest of it. 

I knew I was going to paint "Bobbi-Jo", but was unsure what color, or whether or not to distress it. 

I accidentally purposely ended up chose to layer paint colors, distress, crackle, add more paint, and do more distressing & add dark wax. 

I actually didn't know when to quit!  It is quite French!  (Afterall, I am Canadian)

I added my favourite jewels, "glass knobs" & "voila!"  

Repondre a "Bobbi-Jo".
