A Project

With all of my free-time I have now (bwah-ha-ha), I decided to give our bedroom furniture a face lift. We bought the dresser, mirror, and nightstand 11 years ago and it was a light, almost pink, colored wood with big bulky drawer pulls. I liked the clean lines and it suited our old house and 1998 decor taste. When we moved into this house 7 1/2 years ago, I grew to dislike it because it didn't go with any of the dark wood moldings. But other projects have come first - don't they say that you save your room for last? Why is that??

Fast forward 7 1/2 years and, voila, I got the urge to tackle the project. We hauled everything out to the garage and I got to work. It cost only $85 for new drawer pulls and 4 cans of spray-paint primer and 7 cans of spray-paint "Heritage White" in the Satin variety. Yup, I spray painted them and it only took a day to do it. I think they look pretty snazzy.

Having not spent too much time in your bedroom, I wish you had posted the "before" shot so I could catch the real significance of this ! But it surely looks great with that purty pink quilt !

Looks great! Isn't it exciting to finish a project and be as happy with it as if it were brand new stuff?
I will have to post the pictures of my painted bathroom cabinets. I opted for darker wood since my walls are lighter. I am happy for an easy transformation too!
