I have been looking for a dresser for ages, even scouring ebay for one that I might be able to afford/collect. I kept missing them on freecycle not being quick enough off the mark and I just kept my fingers crossed............then i was having a quick coffee browsing some of my favourite blogs last week(vintage pleasure at the time...now my lucky blog) and the mail arrived...quickly replied and the dresser was mine hoorah....
we collected in on friday and found out that it was going to be chopped up for the fire but had been rescued by a neighbour who had stuck it on freecycle.....woken by everyone leaving the house for the birthday treat in the big smoke @ 3am on saturday morning decided to get up and get stuck in....and here it is Sunday morning!
I am really pleased with the colour, 'pigeon' oil eggshell from Farrow & Ball of course I just need to find some baskets to stash stuff in the cupboards. So a busy weekend all in all.
I saw your link over on MSE and had to come and have a looksee :) The painted dresser is beautiful, I love it! I can't believe that it was originaly destined to become firewood!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous.I love that colour.xxx
ReplyDeleteI just spied Apples For Jam on your dresse.Isn't that the best cookbook ever?I love it for so many reasons. x
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the tomato lasagne recipe, its a particular favourite of ours....such a beautiful book Rxx
ReplyDeleteOh my that dresser looks gorgeous, and so different once its been painted. I can't believe someone would want to chop such a gorgeous piece of furniture up.
ReplyDeleteJust wandered over from MSE Shabby Chic thread..

Hi Rachelle - thanks for your kind comments on my blog, but my e bay cabinet is not a patch on your dresser - love the colour! - Shame there's no where to squeeze one in in my house (or could I fit one in the dining room? ......hmmm - off to check out ebay!)
ReplyDeleteTake care - Natalie x
Ohh that is gorgeous. I was going to paint my bookcase in vert-de-terre but I'm loving that pigeon. Really loving grey at the moment anyway so might pop out for a tester pot later!
