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!

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!

How hilarious is that? I can't believe our dressers are exactly the same, and we finished them in such a similar way! I love how you dry brushed the brown on it! Looks fabulous! :)
It looks fabulous. Love the blue and the dry brushing really tones it down.A really lovely piece. I am your newest follower hope you can pop on by my blog.
Au revoir

Love this! I hope you don't mind that I included a photo and link in a post I did on stencils.(I'm new to blogging and unfamiliar with linking etiquette). Thanks for the inspiration!
