The search is OVER!
I had been looking for MONTHS for a dresser for the nursery. Ideally antique-looking, for super cheap, that I could paint white. Well, I'm due in 11 days and the clock is really ticking, so we nearly caved and bought an IKEA dresser (for $170 or so....yikes!).
So happy to say I found one at a garage sale just days ago for $20, gave it a little makeover, and am thrilled with how it turned out!!!

{AFTER}
{MATERIALS}- PAINT: Behr semi-gloss ultra-white trim paint, same paint we had leftover from the trim in the room
- KNOBS: $2/each from the Montreal Habitat for Humanity Re-Store
- INSIDE: it's lined with fun wallpaper, $2 also from the Re-Store
- LABOUR: adoring husband
I am totally jealous of your great finds and how it all came together. I definitely need to come and visit before MM comes - if I can time it right. I also want to come over once she's here - as soon as you're able to have guests.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I was reminded of while talking with Brad, I will totally need to babysit for you while you catch some zzz's or just mosey around the house.
I want to update my blog, especially seeing how lovely yours is - maybe it's time! :D

ReplyDeleteLove the dresser -- nothing is more empowering than re-purposing something plain and making it gorgeous again! Also, I have the same pillow that's on top of yours. :) Just came to your blog by you link to mine -- thanks so much! I can already tell I will become a regular reader.
