girls dresser with fabric pulls

Here is the dresser I gave a sneak peek of in my girls room makeover.

Here's what it looked like before:

I painted the dresser with "swiss coffee", and the knobs a flat black.

I loved the top knobs, but when I went to  put the longer, regular pulls back on, they just didn't look right.

Inspired by A Simply Klassic Home I used some fabric left over from a thrifted sheet to add my own pulls.

I like the combination of the vintage black knobs with the modern fabric pulls.

The pink flowers in the fabric coordinate with the pink headboard and other accents in the room.  Go here to see the entire room.

Now I just need to figure out how to add some feet to the bottom so it doesn't sit so flat on the carpet, or maybe some vintage castors--what do you think?

I distressed it quite a bit so that all the details would pop.

It's the perfect size to hold all my daughter's clothes and stuff.

I love what a little paint and primping can do, don't you?

keep primping,

girls bedroom makeover

After 3 days of painting and primping, the girls' room is done.  I painted it a light gray called 'isle shetland gray' from Walmart and touched up the dingy white trim with 'swiss coffee.'

I added this new headboard, purchased for $15 from the thrift store, and painted a light pink.

After seeing this little end table outside a neighbor's house getting rained and snowed on, I called and asked if they were doing anything with it. They said they weren't and that I could have it. I painted it cream and added these lovely pink anthro knobs that were in the clearance bin.

The gray walls really lighten the room up.  Although it has a pretty window with window seat, this room does not get direct light and felt dark with the darker paint--now it's light and bright. 

Here's a sneak peak of their new dresser I recently finished.  I will show the full dresser and details later.

On the bed, I threw on a thrifted sheet with little pink flowers, a white sheet and pillow cases found in my linen closet, and the top cover is from Simply Shabby Chic.

I also added the silhouette pillow (of my 2 girls)
I made ages ago.

A little paint and primping go a long way.

What have you primped lately?
