just your average knife holder -
where you go when you need to

John says - Well that's it I suppose
Suzan says - What's "it " ?
John says - I think every last piece of wood has been painted now in the house
Suzan thinks to herself - " not everything John Wood - not everything.............
Here's a little sneak peak of what I did last night - and what I'll; hopefully be finished today!
This arrived yesterday afternoon
and before I went to bed it looked like this
I decided in the end to go with Paris Grey and Pure White ..................what do you think?
I want her to look " classy " ( as opposed to " sassy " )
And by the way the iron grills were a pain in the sass - because they can't be removed ( often they're removable which makes it much easier - but these are built into the doors - no way to remove them at all..............) She's once, twice, three times a lady ( you know I wouldn't leave you without tattooing a song
to your brain, right?
Ok - time to make a nice cup of tea.................put on some music............... and catch up on what you've all been doing
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone - hope you spend it doing what you love.

She's already gorgeous Suzan!! Beautiful curves!!! I love that knife block makeover too. I don't have one, but even if I did I never would have thought of that. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWell, I thought you forgot to get the song-of-the-day in my head. I should have stopped reading before the end of your post. Anyhoooo- LOVE that "lady". I think the color choice is fantastic. She is beautiful. Are you giving the remaining pieces the same color combo? Oh- I would LOVE to have that in my own home-xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWow Suzan another stunning painted masterpiece. Love the dresser. It looks great. I also love the knife block it really came out cute. I may have to steal that idea.
ReplyDeleteKris

ReplyDeleteThe roses on that cabinet are to die for!!

Thanks so much Alyson - Paris Grey is the color that sells the best for me - so I end up using it quite a lot!!!
DeleteBig hugs,
Suzan
I love the knife block, what a cute idea. That dresser is gorgeous, love all the detail, and paris grey is my favorite colour. Can't wait to see it all finished, happy Sunday to you my friend. I am just having my morning coffee and trying to get motivated, sun is shining but it is a chilling 2 degrees, and I have to paint in the garage so I hope it warms up. Enjoy your day, hugs Tobey
ReplyDeleteThe knife block looks great, and I never would have thought to do it (a million times better than a boring, traditional block).
ReplyDeleteI love the dresser. The Paris Grey and white are my favorite together.
My, that first picture had me wondering if John and you were doing a remake of a horror movie! The dresser is amazing. The white on the flower carvings is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! And is John's last name seriously Wood?!! That is just too good to be true!!!
ReplyDeleteShe has beautiful detail. Can't wait to see the final reveal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy - I was a little lazy today ...............just feel like eating and sleeping lol
DeleteXOX
Love her curves, carved roses and colour! Good call on the knife block. Patty/BC
ReplyDeletethanks Patty- anxious to get her done!!!
DeleteXOX
This is one fine piece of furniture!! She's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIs John sure there is no more wood around? Might have to move onto plastic...
Debbie :)
I bought a wooden knife holder a while back...it's somewhere...I need to get it out and paint it!! your looks great!
ReplyDeleteI gave GW my knife holder-DRAT!
ReplyDeleteLoving that cabinet redone-gorgeous piece.
I exclaimed out loud when I saw your knife block ( I never do that!!!). Amazing. Also I would really like to thank you for your comment on my blog on how to get bloglovin working. It was so easy - thanks to you. Much appreciated
ReplyDeletethanks so much - AND - you're welcome!!!

Love the knife block painted!! i may have to borrow that idea!! And what a transformation on the dresser!! Stunning!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by. I have been approached at Christmas time if I would do a House Tour to benefit our church because of my 19 Christmas trees but parking and amount of people in my little townhouse would really be a huge problem... I would love to do it as a fund raiser for our church though!!
Hugs,

That's it, I'm painting my knife block and my family can't stop me. Or at least sand it and stain it darker.
ReplyDeleteIs John's last name wood?

This is the first time to your site, I saw your knife block on Funday Monday Link Party. It was genius. I don't know why of all the simple things to re-style that should have been one of the first! They are so boring. I love the way you did it. The dresser looks pretty awesome as well. I might just have to subscribe and see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteStop by sometime and take a look at mypersonalaccent.com
Hi Angela!!!

Your dresser is beautiful! The knife rack though....that is too cute! I love that so much! Wish I hadn't thrown mine away!
ReplyDeleteOh the things I've wished I hadn't thrown away since blogging LOL
DeleteThanks so much Beverly!

Sassy and slicey...good work, Suze!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I love this!
ReplyDeleteJamie @ somuchbetterwithage.com
Great idea to paint the knife block!!! That dresser isssss stunning! Looks like a fun piece to paint. I think I would have a hard time not using the dark wax :) all those curves and carvings, perhaps a mix of both waxes...whatever you choose I know it will be stunning when complete. Have a good day tomorrow.

Ahhh, you have made her what she is...Elegant lady. And a fun knife block too! P,S. I have so much fun playing with the cursor here.
ReplyDeleteI love the bureau, so pretty!!! Years ago I painted my knife block; I think it is a great idea. But I laughed, because I thought it had to be one of the last small unpainted items available and what must your husband be saying.
ReplyDeleteI think what you did with the knife block is great. I may be stealing that idea for my new home. The dresser looks gorgeous. I love the color combination.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
Suzan, your painting brought all the gorgeous details of the dresser. I love your color choice. Just beautiful! (as usual!)
ReplyDeletePeace,Linda at The French Hens Nest
Beautiful dresser! I love the knife holder, too!
ReplyDeleteWell I totally missed this one! It's awesome Suzan! How do you come up with this stuff? So fun!
