Guest room dresser - before and after

Good morning everyone !

For such a tiny room - this undertaking has been huge - I've had a paintbrush in my hand - non stop - for a week now - and I'm still nowhere finished ( although I can see the light - praise the Lord I see the light )
Anyway, another one bites the dust

I've chosen to go very " clean " with the furniture in here to try to keep it simple.
( and to remind me of the way furniture was painted back in the 60's when I was growing up )
And to keep it even simpler I've used the same gallon of paint for the floors - the baseboards -  the dresser and the armoire ( hoping there's enough to do the headboard and baseboard too ) let's see how far I can stretch that 50.00 dollar gallon LOL !!!
( Behr's Porch & Patio paint if anyone is interested - extremely durable )

I spray painted the handles - the 4 on the bottom drawers were original to the piece - as were the 2 knobs on the top middle drawer - but the 2 for the top ends were missing their back pieces so I found 2 completely different ones in my stash -  and spray painted them as well - there's nothing like antique knobs on dressers - the craftsmanship is so gorgeous - like jewels, no?

There's a remnant of molding on the bottom of the dresser - missing on the other side - should we saw it off or leave it with it's imperfection?

The details don't show up in the photos very well but they're really quite pretty in person
( subtly so )

And I just love that it tucks into that little nook like it was made for it  ( the mirror is temporary - sad I know but I can't fit the original mirror to this piece - which is gorgeous - because of the slanted ceiling )
I'm on the look out for a decorative door mirror - which will fit perfect horizontally

I hand painted a couple of dollar store birdcages in layers of colors a couple of years ago but never had a place to put them - so they'll rest upon the dresser for now

Here's the before for those of you that may have missed it
The details are the same obviously - but they jump out at you too much in their original state - and those 2 curved ones look like upside down boobies to me - nipples and all

I'm working on the Armoire now - and the last remaining wall - and the rest of the floor - and the headboard and footboard and oh yeah the ceiling lol
And I want to be finished and done with by Sunday evening when I close my eyes - wish me luck!

Really I should have been born with paint brushes as appendages - Suzan Paint Brush hands - like Edward
Scissor hands.............

Yeah, I have to saw that little piece off - looks like a lost soul actually ( it wasn't even noticeable in the before photo!

Have a great sun shine filled day everyone !!! ( in between everything I have to do I intend to be jumping in the pool quite a lot too! )

Much love,

I'll be at these fabulous parties - care to join?

26 million dollar home for sell here in Quebec - ( Magog to be precise )

It began as a camp for the First Nations in the region. The town was founded in 1776, when Loyalists immigrated from nearby Vermont. They called it The Outlet, referring to the flow of water emptying into the Magog River from the lake.^{[citation needed]} The city was named after Lake Memphremagog, on which the city is situated.^{[citation needed]}

It was formally named Magog in 1855.

In 2002 the City of Magog was merged with the Township of Magog and the Village of Omerville as part of the municipal reorganization in Quebec.

Memphremagog is an Abenaki (first nations tribe) meaning "lake of low water" or "lake between two mountains"  ( Wikipedia ) 

As for the rest of us lowly serfs?

Well, we can eat cake I suppose

Have a great Wednesday everyone

Partying here !!!
