Pretty In Pink ...

I am by no means a crafty person.  After meeting a now good friend of mine, Avery Quinn, she inspired me to look inside and be creative.  Plus, it also saves money!  I was looking for a dresser for my son and found the one below on http://www.cherrypointyardsales.com/.  It was only $60.  It's incredibly heavy and was in great condition.

Eager to start my second re-finishing project, I took off the knobs and that hideous gold strip of I dont know what.  I used wood filler to close up the gap.

Little did I know, staining is not the most fun of projects.  I quickly stopped after only doing a tiny portion of the top and decided this was not going to work.  I changed my mind and decided I would put this dresser in my daughters room and paint it pink.  I went to Wal-Mart and grabbed a million different colors of pink to consult with my crafty friends and co-workers.  I finally decided on "Sassy Pink." It suited well being that I was told numerous times that week of my daugher being sassy.

It was a lot of fun =)  I found the cutest knobs on eBay which I ordered to custom fit my project. 

I'm obsessed! How cute are they?!

Oopsies for sideways.  This was pre-painting of the drawers obviously.  I was trying to figure out if I liked the pulls closer or farther apart.  I went with far apart =)

Outter shell is done =)

Just another view.  LOVE it.

Finished, minus my minor mishap ;)

 

Just a closer look at the pulls on a painted drawer.

Full view.

Completely finished and in place.  It looks so good and I love that it stands out against her white walls.  I know I've said it a lot, but it's truly perfect!  I cannot wait until she's in a big girl bed because I have found the bedding I want =) I just hope Target still sells it when she gets there!

 

I hope you enjoyed my little project.  Give me some love ;)
