Wall Decor & Guest Room Dresser

Bear with me as you are reading and looking at this post. I posted way more pictures than usual because there are 2 things that I was dealing with. You'll see...


First off I got this at a garage sale for $3 bucks several weeks ago. What is it right? It's junk! Noooo, really it's an old kitchen cabinet glass door! Probably wondering what in the world would I do with that and why I would ever buy it!?


I painted it a shade of white, distressed and finished it with a wax!


There were holes from where the old hardware was so I played it up a little and added hardware back onto those areas.


I then hung a curtain rod....


and from the curtain rod I hung a wreath! It's GORGEOUS, but there's more to it!


We bought this IKEA dresser to use as a changing table for Kai. I knew it was a little girly and he wasn't going to keep it forever.....so this is now going to be the guest room dresser!


I painted it a "Lisa Packard" paint color....which means I mixed my own colors to get this blue I was wanting in my very own garage! Who needs Home Depot? I then glazed {as you can see in the pic} the whole dresser to give it that antique look! 


Added some flare to my dresser top!




I kept the original hardware for  2 reasons. One I just liked it and two the hardware was a little different since it was made by IKEA so I knew it would be hard to find something to replace it.


Close up of some of my distressing I did.


I like to glaze on a piece like this. It really gets down in the nooks of my dresser....





My finished dresser! I LOVE it!




Here it is all together!


I can't stop looking at it!

My Numbered Pottery Barn Inspired Stool


I got this stool free one day from a guy selling stuff on craigslist.


I didn't know what to do with it. I thought there had to be something I could do with it. It was a cute stool, but I hated the color.


I sanded it all down to the bare wood and painted it this blue color and distressed it A LOT!


I then stenciled with black paint these cute numbers on top! I actually printed the numbers out off my computer and cut them out with the exacto knife.


Pottery Barn is very big into numbering things. I don't really get why, but I think it's super cute!




For now it sits on my fireplace hearth. 

Cute Box!


So I found this box while shopping at Ross last night....can I just say Ross has some of the best stuff! I love it!


When I saw it I knew instantly I had to have it! For now it sits  in my laundry room on top of the counter!  I just love it to pieces! 


Big Wall Clock & Vintage Scale


I LOVE this adorable vintage scale I got at a garage sale last week!


This big wall clock I purchased at TJ Max!!! Some times it's just cheaper to buy things than to make them!
