Turquoise Blue Dresser

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great Spring Break. I for one am happy to get back into the back to school routine. 

In the middle of last Summer my Mom was visiting my Aunt who was giving us a couple of desks. She also had an enormous dresser in her basement she was hoping we could use.

Here is a picture of the before:

When she came home & showed me this picture. My first thought was "Wow, I'm not sure paint could help that poor thing."

So there it stayed & waited, & waited, & waited.

Finally six months later we were ready to tackle this project. After putting hours into cleaning, gluing, & clamping it was ready for paint.

With all that detail I thought a bold color would really look good.

We went with this gorgeous turquoise blue, it's called "Pacific Palisades" from Benjamin Moore.

 

Wow what a difference paint can make!

After I took these pictures I realized we had the drawers in wrong.

Here is what it is supposed to look like:

Can you believe those handles? This is a style you either love or hate. I have to admit, it's growing on me. 

So what do you think? Could you live with this dresser?

I am so proud of my Mom, she did this one all on her own. I think she did a beautiful job. It turned out as vibrant & beautiful as she is.

Isn't she cute? She's full of energy & loves to laugh & have fun. Thanks Mom for all your help!
