Bicycle Dresser

Hello again friends.   Here in the PNW, Spring is in the air, (sorry to all dealing with record colds) but we have had unseasonably warm weather... (yes I know it won't last but one can hope and should at least enjoy)!

Sooo....

In honor of this spring like weather I thought I'd share the Bicycle dresser I finished a while ago.

It started as a cheap dresser that I picked up for $3.00.  Because it wasn't especially well built or even vintage, I felt very comfortable trying something new and a little bit different...

After all what did I have to lose??  Three dollars.  :)

Ha-Ha...Nice photography...you can see the tail end of my dog.  :)

So I painted the outside my favorite yellow and painted the drawers white..after removing the knobs of course.

I sketched the bike in pencil and the started painting using using an assortment of acrylic paints.

Outlining some of the flowers in black to make them pop.

So what do you think?  Wouldn't it be cute in a little girls room?

Well that's it for today...You have an awesome weekend!!

(I have an sick kiddo at home and the weekend off so I see more crafting in my near future.)  :)

As always I will be linking up to the many link party's on my sidebar. 

Curbside Dresser

Don't cha just love a freebee on the side of the road???  They're my fav!!  :)

Speaking of favorites...One of my AWESOME girl friends is always finding things for me...She is a long distance runner and I swear she's everywhere.  :)  She's probably running right now as I sit at the computer with my cup of coffee typing...well at least my fingers are in shape!?!?

Anyway, she called me up one evening saying she found a dresser and I might want to take a look at it.....

Needles to say I grabbed my husband and off we went.

It was missing it drawer pulls and a bottom of one drawer, but other than that it was in great shape...so home it went.  :)

I mixed up some homemade chalk paint  (i use plaster of paris in mine) and painted it white....It had been a lovely green, so after the paint was dry I distressed it so some of the green showed through.

The cute drawer pulls came from World Market

For a bit of whimsy....I painted the sides of the drawers with random yellow dots to match the pulls.

I still need a little some thing so I headed over to The Graphics Fairy and downloaded this darling french bee design ...

Printed it out and used Mod Podge to transfer it.... You can find my tutorial on how to transfer on my side bar.  :)  Don't you think it was the perfect touch?

Here it is down in my little space...Needless to say it wasn't there for long.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!!
