Dressing Table Redo

Draws in our house have always been something of  rarity, we never seem to have enough. So a while ago (months, well before last Christmas) I was on a FB garage sale for my area and found this gem for only $50.

Only major problem with it was the colour!!! I mean look at it!!

Anyway this was originally going to be for my room and I had a big plan to strip it back to the wood and do it up all nice, but once I got started I found a bit of it had been filled with putty and even though 99% of it was perfect that 1 % would have looked odd, So away it went half striped into my room to be hidden away under a pile of clothes for a few months.

But the draw crisis had reached its peak, Annabel needed a bigger set than she had,  whats a Mum to do?? Something she really didn't want to that's for sure, Hall out the big half striped set and start all over again.

Two days of striping, sanding, fixing and painting we have this!!

And  HUGE thanks to Tracy for giving me the kick in the bum and motivation to do it all.

Before and After Dressing table

Another project house update this time Annabels dressing table, since I wanted to do up her room I was determined that the crappy furniture wasn't going back into her room so went on the hunt for a new dressing table.

I found this one on trade me, and thought it was perfect so snatched it up as soon as I could.

Now I wasn't a fan of the wood grain but I bought it with the intention of painting it, so as soon as I got it home I took to it with the sander and went to work.

And this is how it turned out. All an all very happy with it and it looks. much better than the plastic draw set!!

Now off to look for some new draws for the boys room!!

Thanks for looking :)
