There are few things I can think of that I enjoy more than refinishing a piece of furniture–taking an old flea market or garage sale find and turning it into something really special.
Well, today I’m taking a pretty new piece of furniture and giving it a makeover. You see, this pretty little chest of drawers was purchased for a sweet young girl for her very girly and precious bedroom.
Well, in two short years, that little girl has done some growing up, and now that sweet little girl is a beautiful young lady who wants to ditch her precious little girl’s room for something a little less girly…less flowery and pastel…and transform it into something more fit for a young lady.
So today, I will take that almost-new white chest of drawers, and give it a couple of coats of this…
…and then add some fun detail on the inset drawer panels. Then it’ll go back in her room where the walls have been de-wallpapered and de-pastelified (yes, I’m sure it’s a word!!), and have been given a couple of coats of this…
…and the bed has been dressed with this…

I’m off to find my sander! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!
