My oh my your so good lookin...

I have been trying to finish up this little lady for a few weeks now. We hit a few snags along the way...but she s so good looking now :)

Here is what I started off with {after the little girl who gave her to me} I hit a lazy spot...and left her outside for awhile... during that time we had 2 snow storms and quite a bit of rain...oops, my bad. The good part was that the finish was just flaking of {thank god} which did me a favor, and saved me some work... but the bad part was the veneer was peeling up on the bottoms {not good}

I {scratch that} We fixed the peely veneer by chopping the bottom off and adding some cute littel feet, that were the middle part od a small table I had sitting around...

Heres hubby cutting down the legs to the size we needed.

Here they are being screwed to the dresser.

With a fresh coat of pale gray, shes all ready to be accesorized.

My inspiration for this dresser found at jones design company
I cut a stencil out of cardboard. and traced the stencil over and over until the entire front of the dresser was covered. I drug the drawers into the livingroom, and during American Idol last week, I painted over my pencil ines with a nice crisp white.

I used the same hardware just positioned differently, and spray painted white.

Here she is...Only here is one of the snags that got me...I applied a semi gloss poly and when it dried, it dried with a yellow tint! I was stuck for a few days, trying to decide what to do...Then this morning I just took the sanded to her, roughing her up as much as I could stand. And needless to say, I am quite happy with the end result!

My Oh My shes so good looking!
This week I'm going to be linking up to these parties...wanna join me?
