My kinda dresser!

I am so stinkin' excited about this little dresser.  Why?  Cuz it's so stinkin' cute!!  My client (yep, that still sounds weird) said, "Distress the crap out of it."  So, I did, and I am IN LOVE with it!!  Craig thought I was nuts last night when I was showing it to him--I could hardly contain myself.  Be forwarned if you don't like distressing, don't look!!  ;)


Before




After







The original hardware were pulls with the winged backplates--not a big fan. I absolutely love how these knobs compliment the color and the worn feel this dresser has now.








This seriously makes my heart beat a little bit faster.  lol  (I already know I'm crazy, thank you very much!). :)




She told me I could do a little something extra if I wanted to.  I thought it would be fun to do her birthday numbers down the front.  I like how they're subtle.














I used 3 different grits of sandpaper --120, 180, and 220.
