Do you like Shabby?

TGIF Roadsters!
(I wonder, when my blog name officially changes to Restored~Home, will you then become my "Homies"?......oh yes, I do think so! **giggle**)

Lots of paint flyin' around here this week.  I am working on a new project for a dress consignment shoppe that just opened.  I am super excited about creating fabulous display pieces for her!

I finished up a couple of nursery pieces for a friend of mine, Lindsay. 
(Hi Lindsay.....sorry our conversation got cut short last night amidst the crazy lightening storm......
you are uber cute and I just adore your family!)

Anyhoo......take a look at the dresser/ changing table that I finished for Lindsay.

"Before"


I am drawn to these types/styles of dressers.  They are very flexible in their uses.
Dresser, changing table, entry piece, serving piece.....the list goes on.

Here he is "After."


I refinished the top in a Dark Walnut stain.


Two different ASCP colors.
Can you guess which two?


I love how this piece distressed.
I realize it is not for everyone but I do like that "chippy" finish.


Waxed to the softest sheen imaginable......
(I am not kidding.....this dresser is silky smooth.....you just gotta touch it!)


He will make his happy little home as a changing table for Baby Camden.
How sweet is that?

And for those of you keeping up with the DIY contest.......
well, I am so sad to say that I did not win.
**sigh**
I placed in the Top 10 and that is pretty exciting but I am now more determined than ever!
I have my plan for October.....be on the lookout for my Stenciled Dropcloth Rug tutorial......maybe this will be the BIG winner for October!

Onward and Upward Homies.....
(I just had to try it on!)

Blessings Abundant......
