A girl needs her BLING...

I wanted to share this vanity upcycle... I really, really couldn't believe how well she turned out. This was one of my very first projects I tackled when I started altering furniture.

It was my first time using a glaze, and distressing! eekk!.
This is her before.
The hardware was ugly and one was missing.
She was screaming for some BLING anyways!
So she got her new jewelry from Hobby Lobby.




 I tried to keep her, but hubby said no. GRRRRRR
So she went on Craigslist and she got a new home. I miss her.

LIAR LIAR!

This dresser redo came out so fabulous that you'd never believe this before picture! Check it out...


Ignore the poor picture quality! I am working with an iphone camera only! :/

The finish was HIDEOUS! It had the little black specks all over it......wasn't sure I could reuse the hardware, and there was a pull missing. I almost didn't buy it, ALMOST.. :)
I have to admit I have a weakness for dressers, any dresser, any style, all of them.
I sanded it down sprayed the bottom with Kilz (of course) and took the top all the way down to bare wood. 

I had visions for this piece right when I saw her. Dark top, painted body, gorgeous! The hardware was sprayed with Oil Rubbed Bronze and just POPPED against the light Ivory! We reattached the metal inserts, and the pulls just happened. They were already the prefect color, they fit over the existing decals  and I got them for a buck a piece at a discount hardware store. It was meant to be!
Check out her new digs!!!

 Yes its the same dresser. 
Yes I am sure. 
Really, it is.
I pinky swear.
