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!

    I'm scared of this much color but you pulled it off beautifully! It's really nice with the natural wood top. I would love to have to share your talents at my VIP party today. http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/09/vip-party-26.html
    Have a great holiday weekend!
