The before is the guy right behind the propane tank
This was a dresser in GREAT shape! No major dents, scratches, the drawers are in impecible shape and it still has it's charming castor feet.
This is actually the second dresser I have done like this. I did one about 3 months ago for a nursery and it was stunning so I was thrilled to stumble onto a second one that is virtually identical.
The knobs are off another antique dresser I redid, but were not original to this one. They are really charming poppy shaped pulls.
I can't believe I had forgotten about this little painting I found while thrifting about a year before Wren was born. It is a hand painted Little Bo-Peep and a knitted lamb. I think I may have to hang it permanently in Wren's room~

Just found you through another blog - Your before and after pictures are great! I may have to attempt to refinish a whole bunch of inherited furniture this summer. :-)
Hi Holly...
Another lovely romantic piece! I'm in love with everything you've done.
Take Care

P.S.
I can't wait to see what you do with that darling little drop leaf hiding in the background!!!

Oh my - I have almost that exact dresser! Picked it up at a garage sale this summer and it has been waiting to be painted. This has definitely inspired me to get going!
Do you use a semi-gloss latex paint?
The dresser is darling--I love the caster feet too! And what a little treasure the Little Bo Peep picture is!
Once again...gorgeous! ~mary~
My newest (furniture) obsession is litttle lovely dressers like this one... haven't found one with caster feet just yet, nor have I found a real spot to put another one but yours is beautiful and romantic as always.
P.S. Snagged a few more Brockhampton knobs today at Anthro. The price tag? $2.95 I'm itching so bad to get to painting our master furniture so I can finally use them!
every time i see one of your before and afters, i wish so badly that you lived closer!!!! that bo peep artwork is just darling too. perfect for little wren:) have a wonderful week!
Hello Holly,
That piece turned out so pretty,
sweet and romantic. Perfect for any room.
I also love the nursery print, it's lovely.
I had that exact same dresser growing up, caster feet and all. It has been passed around my family and painted many different shades...wow!!
I love the handles and the dresser looks amazing!
I love your blog and look forward to your posts! You have inspired me to refinish a couple of pieces of my own! I wish you lived in TX, I'm sure I'd be your biggest customer!
I am definitely envious of your time... I am a college student with a strong desire to redo furniture. If I could I would be doing it now... just any time I can. Unfortunately I live in a small apt and am always working on homework!!!
Love what you do.

I'm sure you've mentioned this before in your blog, but I'm kind of new here...but, do you use a sprayer to paint your furniture? If so, what kind? Any tips?
So inspiring - as always! Love what you do, and I love what it makes me wanna jump into. Thanks for the before and afters =)
Adorable Holly!! Love the Lollia candles too.
