I recently refinished a dresser for a friend of mine. She had a brown dresser and wanted to "perk" it up a bit so I painted the outside a creamy yellow color and the drawer fronts a burnt orange color. Once the paint was dry I took the sander to it and distressed it a bit. The color was not vintage enough for me so I took some brown paint and rubbed it over it to give it more depth. Once the paint was dry I glued vintage music sheets to the top and outside. I put poly all over the piece to finish it up. I love it and more importantly my friend loves her new dresser too!! Thanks Lynn for giving me a fun new project, keep'm comin!!
We are sisters passionate for all things vintage. We love scouting for unique items and using our creativity to repurpose what was old into something new for a usable, one-of-a-kind piece. Many of our items are used in our home and we love to share our decorating ideas with you, but as we run out of space in our houses some our items we have to sell and make room for more inspiration to come.
