Do that to me one more time...............................

That's what my furniture says to me -

I can never get enough of a girl like you ♪♫
Paint me, like you just did, oh baby  ♪
Do that to me once again   ♪♫♪

I don't usually post on the weekends and here I am posting on both days - there's just so much going on with that little guest room !

Last week I asked if I should keep the armoire in the little room - or a dresser - most of you voted for the armoire - so I decided to go with the dresser LMHO - but I did give it a quick makeover anyway - and I do mean quick - as in 20 minutes or so.
Paris Grey - the white was already on it ( when it was duck egg blue )

Dresser makeover - Paris Grey Chalk Paint


This thing is heavy - as in if this thing fell back it would have killed me instantly.  With just my legs sticking out like the wicked witch that I am..................
So heavy that I should have worn depends when we lifted the top piece off to move the bottom piece ( too much information I know )
So heavy - as in I may have popped a blood vessel or two and I can lift heavy things believe me.

My Son dropped in for a visit and I asked if he could help John take the top piece off ( again ) because it wasn't level
He did it himself !!!
Oh my God - I don't know how he did it

Mom says - Did you pee a little when you did that?
Gordie says - Ugghhh Mom - why would I pee?
Mom says - From the weight ?
Gordie says - That's gross - you're my MOTHER - don't talk like that
Mom says - Like what?  Sheesh - it's just pee
Gordie says - You should have worn Depends
Mom says - I know that.........................

But I digress - you didn't come by to hear about my bladder after all.


It's a very light coat of grey actually - some duck egg blue is peaking through here and there but I kind of like that
And I left the white parts as chippy as they were - cutting the painting time in half I'm sure






Paris Grey Chalk Paint Dresser Makeover

 It's in the hall landing - and it's ridiculously too big for the space but that's where it's staying until I get the office done - ( and God knows when that'll be - it's the last room to do upstairs and I'm not in the hurry that I should be )  I DO have the perfect spot for it in the reading room downstairs - but JOHN'S t.v. is in the way.


But it suits the space better then the duck egg would have


It can always go back to it sometime in the future - no big deal-ee-o - right?
I DO love the color - it just didn't fit

( I'm writing that because now that I'm looking at it - I'm afraid you're all going to say I shouldn't have touched it ) 

You can see the original 2 part posts on the first makeover HERE and HERE
I dry brushed a little gray on the 2 interior drawers as well - very little actually.


Paint me - like you just did  ♪
Oh baby................... 
Do that to me one more time  ♪♫♪


Now I officially have clothes in my bedroom - in both guest rooms and the upstairs landing

John says - Are you sure you have enough drawers
Suzan says - I could probably use just one more 
John says - I think there's a corner in the shed outside we could probably squeeze one more in 
John says - It's too much - there's dressers all over the bloody place 
John says - It's like living in a shop

Yaddy yaddy yadda

I'm thinking of secretly taping him - so you get the audio

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone - 
Hugs,
Me

  1. While the Duck Egg and white was perfect, it is not perfect for your house. That's my opine. Your kitchen is all black and white and kind of sets a tone for the rest of the house. The gray and white are really, really the prettiest! Really. I am in love with the mixture on that curvy, lovely armoire.

  4. Oh, I love the grey, Susan! You have such a knack for picking color combinations! And you have a wonderful knack for creating and writing about humorous situations! I know what you mean about needing Depends. If I cough too hard . . . well, you know what happens!

  5. I think it looks great, Suzan. It is hard when you move to a smaller space to try and figure out where to put things-even clothes...what to keep-what to let go.

    I hear you about taping the old boy. I have the same thing here. He likes to scold. I tell him it is like being nibbled to death by a duck. lol xo Diana

    1. Thanks so much Karen - it would have been perfect in black and distressed but it's already an overpowering piece in a small house :)

  9. I read your stuff out loud to anyone who will listen... it cracks me up and they are generally in stitches...... I love all the cupboards... although I admit that with the lack of closet space in our bungalow.... I put closets in the laundry room and made it into a dressing area... no carrying clothes all over the house. And, clothes are easier to put away right off the drying rack or out of the dryer.

    1. Well I'm devestated - all those thought provoking deep conversations I put out there - and you laugh at them ............AND get others to laugh at them too?
      LMHO !!!
      A dressing room/laundry room is genius !!!
      Do you have a chandelier in there? ( every dressing room needs a chandelier, don't you know !!! )
      XOXOXOXO

  10. I think the dresser was the right choice. :) Sometimes my husband says he's going to tape me and I tell him to go ahead because with his technical "expertise" he would probably tape himself and show everyone what an a@# he can be. lol

  11. Your blog is funny, very romantic (I mean John must love you that much to agree to live in a house that according to him looks like a shop) and very instructive (I had to google "depends" as I had no idea what that was)!

  12. You and John are so funny - I think you and john complement each other. Never a dull moment with you two.
    I like the colors you painted the chest - looks good. you can always change it if you don't like it.
    Happy Monday.

  13. You are so funny! The armoire is perfect. Yes, it's large, but that's ok. I wish I had room for an armoire. We kept most of our furniture when we moved...big mistake. It leaves no room for new. Darn.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love your and Johns conversations...lol. But what really cracked me up and may have made me pee a little is the bladder issue...lol. My son and I were trying to set up a satellite receiver (that we borrowed) at an outdoor event we were at and it started falling over and I lunged.......and you can guess what else I did......yep...jacket wrapped around my waist the rest of the day......:( Have a great week!!

  18. Oh, yes, one of your gentle conversations playing in the background as we look in amazement at the latest paint creation. I vote for keeping it this new color. Even being a lover of duck egg, I choose the gray. Thank you for dragging your heavy furniture and bladder issues to Make It Monday.
