chunky dresser love


I've been all about the Napoleonic Blue lately… and this dresser immediately said Napoleonic Blue to me!

Before:  (sorry, the longer I do this, the lower the quality of my 'before' pictures sinks!)





During, as I was stripping the top down:


And after:







This one was also for a client, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't very very sad to see it go!  I'll be on the lookout for a piece like this for us to keep!

thanks for coming by!
