FROM BORING TO BEAUTIFUL

Today I finally finished giving "Boring" her makeover.  

Here she is.  Now let's call her "Beautiful".  

Very original, I know.  

 One last look at "Boring".

She was my $45 thrift store find. 

I first gave her a good sanding and then primed her with Kilz.  

After that, I gave her two coats of Benjamin Moore Kilim Beige. 

I also removed the curvy apron from the bottom.  Didn't suit my style. 

After that, a light coat of glaze and little more sanding. 

Since there were twelve knobs on the top two drawers, I decided to keep them.  

I purchased six more handles for the bottom drawers.  

I applied a little Rub 'n Buff to all the hardware. 

Again, love that stuff! 

I originally thought our bedroom needed some color, but I think what it really needed was a few accessories.  Before adding the dresser, it was pretty much void of any accessories.  

I did add a punch of color with the books.  It's just enough for me. 

I picked up this little gem at a flea market this weekend for $1.00.

I added another hint of gold with this frame.  This is my sweet baby boy when he was 18 months.  

The pictures are a few of my favorite baby photos.  

The frames are from K-Mart and I have had them for years.  

Now I just need to fill it up with my clothes.  

What do you think, Boring or Beautiful?
