Pale pink & cream chest of drawers

Here is a lovely little chest of drawers that I just couldn't resist making pink!  This is a vintage, solid wood dresser with very interesting woodwork: I can't say I've ever come across a dresser that looks like this one before.  I decided that I'd opt to paint this piece out of the fear that I'd be removing leaded-paint if I took it down to its bare wood.  So it was chalk-painted a very pretty shade of pink with some stencil-work in cream which surrounds each of the glass knobs.  The interior of the drawers are painted a pale grey and the whole piece is sealed for protection.

Before: ho-hum, scuffed-up white dresser.





After: pretty in pink!





 Gorgeous glass drawer pulls are surrounded by ornate stencil-work:







The spacious drawer interiors are a lovely pale grey.

Letting go

Sometimes we hear some sad news and are called back to reflect and mourn.  I thought I'd share some photos that allow me to honour two individuals that have recently left this world in the only way I can freely express my grief: through art.  May they now have peace.
