Pink Dresser !!!

I had computer problems again yesterday - so I've been " down " since then - but am back " up " again!!!  Sorry if I haven't replied to your comments - I'm going to do my best to catch up today :)

And here I go again - changing things because they're hanging around a leetle too long for my liking!!!

Remember this?  ( you can see the transformation HERE )


Well it would seem no one else liked it as much as I did


or weren't impressed with my shabbifying this piece


and so I had no choice but to change it up a little bit



and even though I haven't had much luck with pink - I think this looks so sweet for a little girl's room


I'm not even sure how I made this color - it was in one of my " recipe " bottles - where I mix colors up when I get to the end of tins..............


but it's such a soft pretty color whatever it is


I was trying to organize a little this week - trying would be the operational word here - and came across these


They're panels from the dollar store - which I use as a privacy blind in my office ( being in a row house you absolutely need privacy blinds )


and for some reason I've never noticed the hearts in them !!!
but this dresser is meant to be in a little " sweetheart's " bedroom - and so hearts were added
using the panels as a stencil - a " subtle " touch was all I wanted



And now my fingers are crossed that someone has the perfect spot in a little girl's room for this!

Have a wonderful day all!!!

    This looks absolutely darling! When I read the title "Pink Dresser" I didn't know what to expect but you worked your magic!

    Oh Suzan, it is beautiful.

    I really need to get busy painting my dresser.

    I have the paint.

    I know it would look great.

    But I am too lazy to take off all of the hardware, remove all of the clothes and be in limbo for a day or two.

    It is a very pretty piece. I liked it before, but I think this transformation has probably made it easier to sell.
    I like your privacy blinds, both decorative and functional.

    I like the color! My "little" girl is now all into neons and black/white/silver at the moment, but a few years ago she would've loved it :-) Great job, Suzan !

    That is really pretty. It would certainly look wonderful in a girl's room.

    I wondered what happened to you! Thankfully, you're back :)

    Haha, when I saw pink I thought bright, glaring pink! What can I say? I love this soft whisper of pink. My daughter back in her pink phase, would have loved this. It is charming and should get snapped up quickly!

    Such a soft pink and it looks great Susan. Would even be cute in a Baby's room; add a pad and have a changing table.
    Good work.

    Like it better. We must be hanging around each other too much. I was going to paint my dresser I just bought those colors. I wasn't sure how it would sell so it is still sitting and I am still pondering!

    The dresser is gorgeous! I wish I was as creative as you---I would love to make something like this for my granddaughter's bedroom. And the paneling is a cool idea----perfect for a little privacy.

    It looks so dainty now. I'm really picky about pinks, but that is a lovely shade. The hearts are so cute and they go with the design in the middle, which reminds me of angel wings.

    So sweet! Seeing results like this make me wish I had a granddaughter closer to home. We have 8 grandsons & 1 granddaughter, who lives in Edmonton with our son and his family (two older brothers...she's getting spoiled and she's not quite 2 years yet!)
    Oh well, I still love how yours turned out, Suzan.
