Thrift to Treasure

It's finally finished !  Here is the Henredon buffet that I found at Goodwill almost 6 weeks ago.  Dayka was nice enough to feature it on her trash day post recently and she gave me some really good ideas to spruce it up.

I knew I wanted to paint it yellow so I started with a liquid sander/deglosser that was super easy to use.  I already had some gray primer so I just used that.  I decided to use spray paint because of all the detail on the doors and chose Valspar in color bumblebee. I think we used about 5 or 6 cans !  Rustoleum makes a trigger sprayer and I cannot say enough great things about it, if you don't have one, get one !  It will save your finger.

Remember all the great fabrics I got in Baltimore at Debois Textiles ?  I used the brown and white Trink Turk Santorini fabric to cover the drawers.  Just use spray glue to attach the fabric.

The knobs came from Antropologie and are really pretty in person.

We moved the dresser into the guest/music room and I have lots of other projects coming up for that room.  I'm considering making a roman shade from the yellow Trina Turk Sunglasses fabric and a white "leather" headboard.  Can you see it ?

I'll be linking to Metamorphosis Monday and Under the Table and Dreaming ....... be sure to check out all the other projects.
