Computer Down!

Happy Wednesday All! I just wanted to give a little update on my computer situation :(

I have lost it....It has officially gone to Computer heaven..thankfully I was able to get all of my pictures off of it!
So needless to say. I will have alot of catching up to do when my NEW {woo hoo} laptop gets here... Just a little shout out to Lauren over at
West Furniture Revival. She passed on a little award to myself..."Stylish Blogger" award! Sweet! I will forward it and do the do, with answering questions about myself...later on :)

And I received another little feature here
Crafts & Sutch
for this little thang

Thanks Ladies! Have a wonderful Wednesday! And check in real soon!

Vintage Aqua Dresser

Okay now this one is cool. My boys {including hubby} and I went yard sale hoppin one mornin before I had to go to work, and we came accross this dresser...I just thought it was super a cool shape and had the original casters....but the price they were asking was steep for my budget...so off to work I went

One my break I check my phone, and notice I got a picture message from the hubby, and whatta ya know...the second I left to go to work they left to go get the dresser for me...My boys love me. It was in really bad worn out condition...but considering how much we paid for it, I didn't want to do much work to it...so The aged, lived a long life look is what I was going for.

So I sanded, and sanded, and sanded...and had this oops paint in a super bright aqua color, gave her a coat...

Then dry brushed a dark chocolate brown all over her. {I've never dry brushed before...and I loved doing it, and even how it turned out! {toned the aqua down a bit...thank goodness}

Check out that detail...woo hoo!
Heres a shot of the side.

Here I decided to used the same old top...termite holes and all...just sanded the heck out of it, and stained it a "Dark Walnut"

I was not about to pay the gazillion dollars that Anthropologie was asking for their hardware{I needed 8 so that would add up super quick}...so I went to good ol trusty EBAY and found some ceramic "Oatmeal" knobs with brass, for, wait for it...wait for it...$1 each...I know right...but unfortunately it took fooooreeever for them to get here...sucky, but they are here...and oh they look great!

Annnnd After!{Lovely}

I will be linking up at these parties!

Quatrefoil Nightstand

Alright so let it be said that I am addicted to anything "trellis" like...Its just so awesome!
So this piece I have had for awhile...and finally got around to her.

Here she is before...

And after...

Gave her a fresh coat of black paint. and a little bit of sanding on the edges to give her some depth ;) change out her old hardware with a perdie blue glass knob.

Added a bit of hand painted quatrefoil to her top :) then sanded it a bit...{I really like this look}

Pretty Pretty huh? I love it!
