Finally catching up!

Last spring I found this amazing dresser. Sadly it was one of those things I brought home and then set off to the side in hopes of "getting to that one soon"

It had a bit of ripped veneer and the top was totally destroyed...but I loved her anyway. I'm crazy like that.

 I loved that the doors held hidden drawers and I really loved the fact that the front closed with a hidden latch. All the original hardware was with it, and in great condition. (happy dance)

Ah....so I need excuses for not doing this. Actually yesterday I told my DH (dear husband) that I have no idea why I waited..

Oh well she is done now.

I cleared away all the old veneer that was loose, filled it and then cleaned it all up before using my home made chalk paint on it.

This is what I've come up with.

 I glazed it and then did some light distressing on it.

 Totally in love with all the details on this piece :)

There are a few small missing pieces in the details, but I think that just adds character to it. 

 Then when you open her up there are three more drawers. I painted in a much lighter shade, and did the inside of the doors to match.

I keep picturing this one in a bathroom with all your toiletries hidden inside. Of course it could be used for a bedroom. What about an office? Wouldn't it just be perfect for the scrapbooker out there? 

And check out that hidden latch. I love little stuff like that. It doesn't take much to make this girl happy. :) 

What a difference eh? (yes the eh is definitely Canadian) 

What have you been working on lately?
