Later that day, I got a text from her saying, "I am slightly obsessed with that dresser. Can you send me the picture to show my mom and Brad? Can I hire you to paint it?"
My heart stopped. I was beyond excited that I was going to get to paint this beauty, and beyond touched that my friend trusted me to do it!
She chose a color that made me even happier. It was so fun to watch it's transformation. I loved every minute I worked on this. And loved it even more because I was doing it for a great friend. She and her husband will be buying a new house in the near future, and I'm honored to have worked on one of the pieces of furniture that will make it a home!
I was originally going to paint some light gray accents around the borders but I really loved the idea of having some of that original yellow and white show through. As I was typing this, my 6 year old peered over my shoulder and asked, "What's that?" I told him it was the dresser I had been painting all week and escorted him into the dining room to see the finished product.
He said, "You missed a few spots."
I tried to explain to him that it was "distressed", so the layers could show through and even though it was made to look new, it gave it some of it's old character and personality.
He was not impressed.
What does he know? Check out these knobs! They just made this piece pop!!! And that yellow/gray combo??? LOVE it!!
Thank you Erin, for putting your faith in me to do this for you and for your encouraging words this past week. I can't wait to see it in your future new home!!!
