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?

and last but not least,

going green {with chalkboards}

Can you tell what I've been thinking about lately?

Yep, green chalkboards.

I already have the paint, now I need to figure out exactly what I will be painting.  I do know wHeRe I will be painting--my boys' room.  I am planning a little makeover, and this will fit in just perfectly.

I think these chalkboards inspirations are perfect for today, because it's the first day of school here--woohoo!

I am still thinking and planning, and now that the kids are back in school

I'll have more time to do both.

 

Thanks to Pinterest for all of this green inspiration.

Primp Your Stuff Wednesday Linky Party #9

Happy Wednesday!  It's time to link up all those fabulous projects and ideas to {primp} your home.  Here are my favorites from last week's party:

 

Inspired By You primped an ugly pillow into this beautiful french bolster.

Check out the lovely transformation A Few Pennies made to a plastic dress form mannequin using hot glue and an old feedsack.

This pallet board map by Kelly Simon Says is on my to do list for my boys' room redo.

Lovely Etc. added the charm of maps to a little typewriter table.

612 Riverside made this super cool pumpkin out of an old grainsack, which I'll admit now, I'm totally going to copy. 

Thanks for all the inspiration.  I can't wait to see what you have to share this week.

adding colorful bunting to my front porch

I finally finished it.  This bunting has been sitting next to my sewing machine for a couple of months now.

After seeing this neighbor's porch I was inspired to sit down and get it done.

I wanted to keep the front porch simple so all I did was set my turquoise table next to these red adirondack chairs that I've had out here for years,

and add my freshly sewn bunting.

What you can't see here is my 9 year-old daughter pushing a big branch up out of the way so I can get a decent picture.

I picked all my favorite fabrics from my stash--I like the mismatched look it gives.

This is my last porch post I'll be doing this year.  If you missed my back porch, this cute blue one, or this charmingly colorful one, be sure to check them out.

I like how it turned out, simple yet colorful.

Also, I found the coolest free eye chart maker here. I'm going to make one for my home, but not sure what I want it to say yet. Here is one I made to remind you to get those projects ready for Wednesday's linky party!
