While we are waiting for the reveal of my daughters room makeover I thought I would share a piece that I just brought into her room.
It was in much need of repair so I knew paint would look amazing on this piece.
Some may cringe when they see the before photo and wonder why I would paint such a lovely piece.
But as I said it needed much repair.
Parts of the wood were chipping off.
Some water damage too.
But since I knew what I wanted to do and was looking for a distressed piece that was going to work for my benefit.
Isn’t this a lovely piece!
This dresser was found at a thrift store.
My original intent was to paint this and sell it.But after thinking about it I could not part with it.
That mirror is not original to this piece.But was found at a thrift store too.
I painted a coat of Annie Sloan old ochre and highlighted the detailed wood appliques with old white.
I will share with you in another post how I attached the mirror.
That small display cabinet holds some photos and awards of my daughters.
I blocked it out to keep those personal photos private.
You can see how this wood was chippy on it’s own.
Painting this piece made it stand out a bit more.
Love the details on this piece.
Wait until you see the other piece I bought with this.
They go together so well!
Are you ready to see the before photo of this dresser??
You can see why I fell for this piece!
And you can sort of see the old wall color too.
I am sure you noticed it is now white 🙂
I forgot to take a before photo of the mirror.But it was the same color wood.
Hoping to reveal her room in the few days.
Today I am working on some pieces I am bringing to The crown jewels of art show
I better get back to work!

It’s beautiful, Anne! I can see why you wanted to keep it. It’s great that it worked out for use in your daughter’s room. The mirror goes with it beautifully, too. Love the color. I think Old Ochre and Old White are my favorites.
Thank you so much Kathy! Oh I love this color combination!

Oh Anne that is such a beautiful piece and I can see how you could not let that chippy treasure go!!!!! It will look so pretty in the room reveal. Your daughter is so cute she needed a cute dresser for her room. I love the paint color and love that mirror too. With not feeling well you really made my day with this post. I love seeing the transformation of this piece. I can’t wait to see the rest of the room reveal.

It’s gorgeous. The wood is so beautiful, but since it had so many issues, I can see why you decided to paint it. So fresh and pretty!
Thank you Betsy!

Anne
Love it!
Thank you Sandy!

Your daughter’s dresser turned out gorgeous! I love all the carved applique detail highlighted with white. It was pretty in its original state, but just as lovely painted. I painted a little dresser the other day, myself, and love the lighter painted finish instead of the original dark stain.
The mirror you married to your dresser is a good fit with the carved detail, too. Nicely done!
Thank you so much! I too love these colors together.Are you going to share what you just painted??

Hi Anne, I used to be one of those people who poo-pooed anyone who would paint a great wood piece but i’ve learned over time that if you are going to live with it then you should be able to fix it how you like and now I have no qualms about painting any piece. In my opinion, it was pretty to begin with and it is beautiful now. Good job..Happy Weekend..Judy
I know some people are not going to like that I painted these.But the paint really brought out the details of this piece.Thank you for your sweet comments!
