Spring Dresser in Mustard Yellow

I am sharing a dresser created by the talented, Darielle from D.D.'s Cottage Blog. I sent her some green rose knobs from my online store: www.relovedliving.com and she paired them with Miss Mustard Seed's Mustard Yellow for a fresh, spring makeover.  I love the mustard yellow paired with green roses.

You can even see this piece featured here on Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint Blog.

Old Dresser and Night Stand Coming up Roses

 

At a recent yard sale I picked up this vintage dresser and night stand set with lovely, turned leg details on the side. 

 

 

This was a beast of a dresser before; big, boxy, and masculine.  I wanted this set to get in touch with its feminine side.

 

I painted them with Cream Chalk Paint® and the spindle legs with Old White. I removed the chunky, wooden knobs and replaced them with these darling, ceramic rose knobs that we sell at Loot. 

 

 

I love the charming combination of the pale yellow and white paired with the delicate roses.  This is the first time I have used the Cream color Chalk Paint® on a piece of furniture and I am now in love with this alluring, buttermilk yellow hue. 

 

 

The finish on the little night stand was scratched up and the veneer was peeling up on all the edges on top.

 

 

I glued and clamped until the veneer was again adhered to where it belonged.

 

 

What a pretty pair!

Ceramic Knobs

 

 

What a busy day at Loot!  I got in a huge order of ceramic knobs earlier today and I had to figure out a way to display them at the shop. 

 

Look at the gorgeous hand painted designs on these knobs!

 

 

I went to the local auction this week and I won a huge stack of vintage frames.  I remembered seeing a peg board in one of the frames when I was loading them into my storage unit.  I went out and dug through the pile of frames and found the perfect display piece for my knobs.

 

 

The peg board was already cut down and attached to this old, gold frame.  I love it when things come together unexpectedly.

 

I also ordered a large, chevron stripe stencil, so I decided to dress up the peg board with a little Chalk Paint® design.  I painted the frame by dry brushing Florence Chalk Paint® over it lightly, allowing the gold to shine through.  I painted the whole board with French Linen and then stenciled the chevron stripes with Old White.  I love that Chalk Paint® sticks to any surface and dries so fast.  This project only took me about an hour.

 

An idea, an hour, and a bit of Chalk Paint® is all it took to create the perfect display piece for my knobs.
