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,
The little dresser turned out wonderful. I love the fabric pulls, especially for a girls room. It gives it a sweet, soft touch.

It's a funny thing...Almost every week when I look at the different links on the different blogs, I click on one of your pieces! I am obviously drawn to your creativity! Plus, we spell our names the same way. Anyway, great idea on the fabric pulls. I just acquired a desk without hardware and think I might try out that idea. www.knottooshabbyfurnishings.com
ReplyDeleteJust visiting from Beach Cottage. Oh my, that dresser looks AMAZING. Love what you've done with it. xx
ReplyDeleteit looks so sweet! emmy has a cabinet -or had i should say since i don't know if it will fit in our next house- that has fabric pulls because it had original plastic pulls that had odd spacing. the fabric kept it girly and soft- love the difference it makes on this dresser!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a beautiful dresser. I would be so happy if you shared this project on my Inspiration Board {link party}. I know my readers would really enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea! Love it.
ReplyDeleteCute dresser! Love the idea of fabric pulls. Love the look of casters!
ReplyDeleteReally like this--have a cabinet that has missing drawer pulls that are 4 inches apart--such a hard size to find. I may try this--thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I have been thinking of doing something like this. Love it!
