Late start today. The kiddos have been … active. I spent half the day mopping up a tragic mess that involved a trashbag full of peanut shells and the contents of a 5 gallon water jug. Not awesome.
So now I present to you a divine dresser from Cindy at Cottage Instincts. If you were looking for a detailed presentation on how to lovingly distress/antique/vintage-ize your furniture, look no further. Her post is super informative and even includes videos on how to attain this one-of-a-kind look. Thanks Cindy!

October 26, 2010 at 11:02 PMThanks for the feature Lindsey 🙂 Believe it or not, after I sold this on craigslist the buyer emailed the next day to say she had already repainted it 🙁
Ah well, glad I got some good pictures!
