We have an old white dresser in our basement that I am itching to fix up and make pretty and useable but I have not had the time or the inspiration to do so just yet.

You can see the dresser in natural light here: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2013/03/making-some-changes-in-master-bedroom.html It is a deep sea blue so it does have some turquoise in it, but it also comes across on the navy side too.<br /><br />xo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-45445425478710384212013-06-07T14:28:27.295-05:002013-06-07T14:28:27.295-05:00This color on the dresser!

I want a grayish blue to paint an ugly old china cabinet. I want to paint the inside of it a turquoise type of color that pops through the glass doors. In your opinion having this in person, do you think that combo would look nice together? And is your color a bit more blue than the photos might look?<br />Thank a bunch!

My husband and I just spent an entire weekend (plus two days of my week sanding and prepping) re-painting up a 5-piece dressers/nightstand/desk/hutch set for our 7 year old daughter that was an awesome Craigslist find. I was looking at how to line her drawers and found your blog. Yay! I LOVE the idea of using wrapping paper to line the drawers - fabulous, since there are sooooo many more options than with contact paper and I would NOT have thought of using a bunch of different patterns in the drawers of one dresser but what a great idea. Especially since I now have 13 drawers in my daughters room to line! I HAVE To know - WHERE DID YOU GET THAT STARBURST MIRROR above the studio dresser??? I want one for my bedroom but they are hard to find. I couldn't even find a link to get one off Houzz.com. Love your ideas - thanks for being you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563993559826644711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-47842189176257571202012-09-29T06:36:39.238-05:002012-09-29T06:36:39.238-05:00Beautiful!
