Don’t go overlooking that certain style of dresser that overpopulates the thrift stores. You know the ones. Chunky and funky. Gaudy and shoddy. Or scrolly and holey. Ornate and … unstraight? Curvy and scurvy? I have no idea what we’re talking about anymore. Anyway, if you find one of those things, don’t be scared. Drag it home and surprise yourself with how fabulous all those swoops and swirls and curlicues can look under a fresh coat of paint. Like this one in white from Jen at Girl in the Garage.
And this one in gray from Sheena at Modern Missus. Looks great! And if you STILL aren’t a fan, guess what? Most of those appliques will easily pop right off, leaving you with a blank slate to work your own magic on. Everyone wins!
Oh, what do we have here? Fun surprise alert from Sheena! MeOW!
