Who knew this dresser possessed so much elegance? She’s like Eliza Dolittle! (Confession: I have never actually seen My Fair Lady, but I’m pretty sure it involves a country bumpkin type girl who gets all refined and stuff? And then becomes a prostitute? Wait, maybe I’m thinking of that Reba McEntire song Fancy). Um, yeah. Either way, what I’m trying to say is this dresser looks fabulous!

January 20, 2012 at 7:43 PMThat’s a beautiful makeover! Just wanted to clarify also that you are confusing My Fair Lady and Gigi. Gigi was intended to become a mistress but ended up marrying the confirmed bachelor at the end.

January 20, 2012 at 5:48 PMBeautifully done – love that dresser. BTW – You MUST see My Fair Lady! And NO Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) is not a HOOKER! LOL

So happy to see Samaa’s work on Better After! She’s a sweetie and so talented!

P.S – ‘Fancy’ by Reba is my go-to ladies night sing-a-long after a few Mojitos! 🙂
Lots of love from Vancouver, BC! xo
