I've been chomping at the bit to re-finish some pieces of furniture that we have that were my grandparents. They all need some love but I started with this dresser that my dad inherited. My intention was to paint this a soft buttery color but when I sanded it down, I couldn't bring myself to cover the beautiful wood. So I went with a classic 'bring it back to it's original state' look. high-gloss and all.
Thankfully I was able to get those darn stickers off the top drawer and fix some other wood problems it had...
I like to stain wood with a piece of cloth or a sock, which ever one I have around. This go-around I used one of Cony's socks, and even had latex gloves on underneath so that this wouldn't happen... attractive uh?
Tah-dah!
Another project I tackled this week...dots! I thought this would be a great way to soften the edges in our apartment and add some warmth & color. I'm tickled with how it turned out and it cost less than $20. Plus I have lots of fabric left over for another project!
Close up. I just got a bunch of embroidery rings and had some clearance fabric cut and put it together with some fabric I already had.

Meg, that is simply adorable! You are so creative! Looks great!
love the dresser and your "dots" - you're so talented! I'm guessing that you probably get it from your "adoptive mom" ;-)
Love you!
wow! Great job!
You are so talented, Megan!
I would just like to have one of your talents.... I mean just to share one....
Cute! I love those prints! I sometimes think about hanging fabric or paper that has an interesting pattern, but I've just never done it! It looks really good, though!
Love the dots! Kudos, Meg!
