2 things...

Two things were done this afternoon. Well not done entirely this afternoon, but finished this afternoon. One is the thrifted dresser spoken of...oh...a few days ago. It is now complete, and will from now on be referred to as "My Favorite Dresser Ever".
I painted it with a very pretty interior satin finish paint from Lowe's called "Well Water"...that's some very vivid water you've got there in your well, Mr. Lowe(s). The little floral design  down there at the bottom (difficult to see) is actually wrapping paper that I decoupaged. The whole darn thing didn't really stand a chance until I added these babies, though. The knobs. These lovely, lovely knobs.

These are the prettiest drawer pulls that a girl could ever hope for! And it only made sense, since the dresser itself cost a mere 5 clams, to spend...oh, 14 times that on knobs.
To appease Clint, I did look at the hardware store but all had to offer was boring boring boring and then some ugly copper-look seahorses. No thanks. So I got them from here.  Big suprise :)
I also beat it up a bit about the edges (with sandpaper) to make sure those knobs didn't make it too prissy. And because I like for things to look comfy and worn in when it comes to dressers and the like.

And the tote is super cute, too...and is in the Little Moth shop now.  But it is totally eclipsed by the dresser! Exciting stuff up tomorrow...new card sets for the shop! Hurrah!

I love this dresser! This could be a whole business for you in and unto itself - redoing furniture. If you lived close by I'd beg you to do one for me. And I am now obsessing over that bag. Uh oh. :)

That dresser is really so cute! Of course you needed THOSE knobs! Your tote is darling, and I admire your artwork too :)

Wow, that dresser came out beautiful. I love the knobs, and yes, anthropologie is a great store (a bit overpriced) but wonderful.
