tone-on-tone dresser


The tone-on-tone look is a new one for me.  I usually go for contrast, but got out of my comfort zone for this piece.

Before:


It was missing the top two pulls when I got it, but I loved the 4 handles and really wanted to keep them.  Only problem was, once the piece was painted, the handles just seemed bulky when I went to put them back on.  So I took a gamble and primed/painted them to match.  And I really like it.

Here it is when I was still debating about the pulls:



Like a lot of pieces lately, this one never made it out of the garage before it was loaded into someone's truck ~ how do y'all handle that?  I hate to miss the photo opp :)  But here she is (and she is a 'she' for sure) :






My garage floor is lovely, isn't it??  Now that is what I call a 'labor of love', y'all!

thanks for stopping by!
