This sweet cottage dresser came from a barn sale. I almost missed a before picture on this one. My husband has recently discovered that he really likes sanding. Yea for me, I'd much rather get to the painting part. He knew this was the next piece I wanted to work on, so he thought he'd have it all ready for me when I got home. Very sweet! (Although you know, I think he'll do almost anything to get his car back in the garage!)

I used one of my favorite greens, Grazing Field by Sherwin Williams. It's the same color I painted my laundry room.
To keep the look really soft, I used a white glaze. Then I gave it a coat of wax for a smooth finish. In case you missed it, I reviewed the glaze and wax products I like in my last furniture post - Deep French Blue.
I kept the original hardware and went with white. I think this might be the first time I've gone white with hardware. But I've been seeing it everywhere and thought it really went with the soft cottage look I was going for here.
Don't you love the little scalloped edge along the top. I think cottage style pieces are my favorite!
I also had two good finds this week. This first dresser came from my local Goodwill. It's a great size and shape and I love the wooden knobs.

And the second dresser came from an estate sale. It has a neat little pull-out shelf above the top drawer.

Don't tell my husband, but I'm not really sure when his car is going to make it back in the garage!
