Broyhill Dresser

I believe this was another tag on FB.  I'm always so grateful somebody thinks of me when they see an ugly piece of furniture. ;)  I actually get that a lot...."I was thinking about you the other day...." Lol!  

It's a Broyhill, so it's a nice piece in great condition, but, once again, just so heavy and dated looking.  I was going to do it in red but it pre-sold and my client and I decided a charcoal gray would look beautiful in her guest bedroom. 

BEFORE

AFTER

Even though it's still dark, it looks so much more modern.  I wanted the drawers to have a little dimension, so I painted the first coat in a medium gray and then feather the charcoal gray in almost to the middle of each section.  I've never done it before and it made me a little nervous, but I realized the worst thing that could happen is I would just have to paint over it. :)

I like the effect. 

I chose to stay with the original pulls and sprayed them a pewter color.  

Thought it would be fun to do something sparkly down the front so I used these antique pewter knobs and love how it brings something a little different and unexpected to the piece. 

Smooth as glass. :)

These are the tulips DH gave me after my no good rotten day yesterday.  He's very thoughtful.  I love that about him.  I also adore this cage clock I got a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately I haven't found a place in my house for it yet so it's still sitting on my bedroom dresser. ;/
