Four years ago when I made the life changing discovery of pinterest, this was one of the very first things I ever pinned. I have dreamed of doing this project for years!
I attempted it foolishly with a plastic dresser and sadly, that didn't work and I got rid of the dresser.
Then this year someone on my street left this dresser pictured below in front of their house. After a day of it sitting outside I decided to give it a home! It reeked of cigarette smoke, but a little vinegar water sponge bath did the trick. I used it to keep all of my sewing supplies in.
I know this is a sewing blog, but since it is for my "sewing wall" (I can't have a whole room for sewing right now), I figured this dresser would be okay to write about.
I love how it turned out!
Another pinterest dream come true!
That is really cute. Did you hand paint all of those birds?
ReplyDeleteNo no no...I should've mentioned that in my post. I printed pictures from the Graphics Fairy on cardstock and then modge podged it to the drawer! If I hand painted the birds this dresser would have been a major pinterest fail!!!
