Hello, Yellow!

It’s time for a good old-fashioned furniture makeover, don’t you agree? 

I picked up this little dresser at Deseret Industries (Utah’s version of Goodwill) during the summer.  Prices at DI  are a little erratic, but in this instance, it was a good thing!  At $30, it took me about 0.5 seconds to decide this one was coming home with me.

I sanded down the top and the decorative backsplash and re-stained them with Minwax Antique Walnut.

I had a can of “oops”  yellow paint that I used for the body…

…and I brushed white paint over the appliques and in the grooves.

I distressed this piece more than I usually do.  I actually don’t embrace the “shabby” style in general, but it seemed to work for this piece.

So that’s it.  Short and simple!  Hope you like it!
