Teddy Bears to Lingerie

Small Dresser Rehab
From teddy bears to a 
different kind of teddy....  Grrrr...


Here's the before, 
Cute with lots of potential...



I lightly sanded each 
drawer with an orbital sander.
Bye, bye teddies.


Then I primed, using Zinsser Bin. 
It seals in any odors or stains.


Primin'... 


Primin'... 


and more priming!


Now for the paint.  
I used Valspar's "Cream in my Coffee".  
I love this color, it's a vintage off-white with a hint of pink undertones. 
My new favorite!


Here she is all ready to go!
I think I'll call her Henrietta...




What do you think of Henrietta?? 
I would sure like to take her home, 
but she's already sold!

  2. Hey, you are selling your treasures as soon as they hit the dance floor! I love how this came out. Always interested in new paint colors too...maybe I should paint my beadboard this color with the greige upper walls...hmm. Got me thinking. YOU are an inspiration!
