Mind you, I can also see just why you wanted that dresser - I love the arched top, isn't that lovely? Great job with the welcome sign and picture too.

I love the dresser, it is such a pretty shape and hope to see a picture of it when it is finished.

Your home looks beautiful and bright and I like all your creative ideas and new makes. We have the same dresser! Mine was inherited and I was fed up with the brown wood so got some Annie Sloan chalk paint (Paris Grey) and then waxed it with the special wax. I've done the same with other pieces of furniture. If you want to you can click on my side Labels for "furniture makeover" and you can see for yourself. Have a good weekend!

I agree with the daffs, they lift everything don't they? We have fields of them everywhere at the moment with lots of workers picking them ready for mother's day. I am sure at night there are a lot of mums already going out to pick them for themselves!!
