Subway Art Dresser....

Before Christmas I found this dresser at a local thrift store. It has been sitting in the shop patiently waiting to be painted. It had lots of company in the shop, a farm house table, a few chairs, an end table and a desk. The problem is somewhere around Christmas time I lost my motivation. Can't tell you where it went, but it was gone! Then this past weekend we had a beautiful sunny day in the 60's! This is very odd for central Pa, we should have snow on the ground. I don't mind that we don't have snow, I am actually quite happy to not have snow! On this beautiful sunny day my motivation returned! Thank goodness! Nothing like a little sunshine to rejuvenate the soul....and bring some inspiration!!

 Here she is waiting for someone to bring her back to life!!

I am using the same technique I used on the frames that my dad and I made. You can read all about it, here!
I painting two coats of white paint on the front of the dresser.

 Using the cricut machine I cut out my letters and applied them to the dresser. After applying the letters I painted the dresser with two coats of black paint.

When the paint was dry, I used tweezers and removed the contact paper letters. This revealed the white paint. I glazed the front and the top of the dresser to give the letters an aged look and not a crisp white.

I know one should not become attached to a piece of furniture,

but it might be hard to take this piece to the booth on Saturday.

I am really enjoying it in the den.

Hopefully she'll find a good home.
