So, it's been forever since I wrote a blog entry. I was busy with summer, vacations and life, I guess. But I did manage to get a few pieces painted for my daughters. Here's one of them.
This French Provincial buffet was quite a find at only $45. I was excited about painting it and began to dream of the possibilities when my teenage daughter decided to claim it as her own. She wanted to redo her room and use this one long piece to replace two pieces, an old dresser and a vanity. She
really, really, really needed the extra storage for all of her clothes...and so it became hers.
Her room is painted with two walls in bright orange and the other two in magenta. I'm not sure how she gets any sleep in there, but it certainly is bright and cheerful. We were to be placing this piece on the orange wall. When I asked her what color she wanted, her answer was white. My dreams of a two toned piece that played up all of the interesting details were dashed. Plain vanilla it is! We decided to go for a high contrast look, by painting the hardware in oil rubbed bronze. It is missing one pull, so I'm working on finding a suitable replacement.
It's a classic and it looks just right against her orange wall with
all of her colorful artwork. There is plenty of room to hold all of her
clothes! So now I find myself wondering why are there still so many clothes on
the floor?
