What is it with me and driftwood? I am SOOO in love with the colors and soft texture... it truly is my biggest inspiration.
And since my dining room dresser walked off last week I did up another one. But I know this one is only temporary, it is just holding me over until a REALLY big one comes my way.
But I have to love something 100% or it doesn't come into this house, so a temporary fix could very well turn into a life long love affair.
Of course I forgot a before, but you've seen a million of these ugly dressers if you've seen one.
I know brass hardware makes some people cringe, but I just think you need to find the right mix. Gold and blue, yellow and grey, they are always beautiful together so it felt good. Plus they kind of look like crowns from a distance to me.

I wanted to still see the wood grain through the surface, but just a little. Like looking at pebbles at the bottom of a muddy river.
yes, it feels right at home in here. And it is one of those pieces that probably had just a little extra love.
This looks great! Love the color you painted it and the white and lemon accents.
ReplyDeleteHolly! It looks so perfect right there, especially with the colours in that painting *swoon*. I hope this one stays with you for a while :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
So yummy!!! I love this soft color!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Is the dresser actually made out of driftwood or is that more of a 'style'? I feel silly asking but I'm really not sure...
ReplyDeleteRegardless of what it is, it's gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful anology "Like looking at pebbles at the bottom of a muddy river".
ReplyDeleteramblings: love the dresser. i MUST know your "driftwood" painting technique. the hardware really does look like little crowns to me too. brass is lovely, no matter what others say. and, how do you get so darn lucky with sconces??? those are still in my thoughts each night when i go to bed. must plan a trip to your HomeSense. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of my favorites. The color and the pulls look gorgeous together.
