trendy or classy? trendy or classy?!?

We are always torn between trendy paint colors and clean, classic white. Deciding what color is our biggest challenge when it comes to revamping furniture. I often scour the internet looking for inspiration. And always come back to white.



We were going to try and be bold by painting this 70s dresser a light greenish-blue. Seafoam, you might say.

But we can't do it! Nope. It's gonna be white with a walnut stained top. And it's going to be gorgeous, too.

Everything has been sanded down, drawers and body have been primed. Shelves have taken over where the central drawers are. I'm just patiently waiting for the hubs to return home from work with some antique white paint. We'll get a coat on tonight. Another one tomorrow, stain the top, polyurethane, and then it will be up for grabs.

Stay tuned to see the dresser become a media console!

White Distressed Armoire

BEFORE


AFTER!

Marshall added beadboard to the back


The drawers were beautiful so we did not touch them!


Antiqued glass knobs

Distressing really brought out the small details!
This only sat in our garage for 3 months.. We can't believe how long it took for us to muster up the energy to tackle the beast!! But she's a beauty now and will be going to her new owners this weekend!
