This is a fun little dresser that I picked up for a song at HomeGoods. I had been looking for a tiny little chest of drawers for the master bedroom in our lake cottage (where everything has to be tiny) and this one fit the bill. The colors were not my taste at all, and would not work with my watery color scheme at the cottage, so time for more paint therapy...
As usual, it took me several quarts of paint to settle on the right color, and even then, I could not decide on just one, so I didn't!
There are three colors of paint on this one little dresser- the top, sides and drawers are all different.
The mirror above the dresser was also a flea market find. It was all green when I found it. I put a coat of blue paint over the center section and left the beaded trim green. I think they all work together well, especially with the fish hanging next to them...
This little dresser is in our "Master Bedroom" and I use the term loosely...
Like everything else, it's pretty small!
Here is a peek at the upholstered headboard Mr. Grand helped me make...
I made this pillow out of a scrap of a tablecloth that I found at the flea market.
Perfect colors and I love the vintage vibe.
The room is coming together and the little dresser makes everything work.
It's kind of a mini version of this blue dresser from Ikea that fits into a nook in the same bedroom.
I saw this dresser, in this color, in Country Living magazine and knew it was the one.
We assembled it while enjoying a bottle of wine and I sure hope it stays together.
So far, so good!
I am missing the cottage... I may need to make a trip there soon, you know, just to check on things.
Someone has to do it!
Here's a picture I took of the frozen beach and dunes in January of last year.
It's been so mild this year, I'm sure there isn't any ice or snow.
Not that I'm complaining....
