Old Dresser Made New

My daughter was recently in need of a bigger dresser.  However, we didn't want to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a new one.  So, why not give an old dresser a fresh makeover at a fraction of the cost?

We started looking at local consignment stores and found a nice, sturdy 6 drawer dresser for only $20!!!  It was a light wood color with metal knobs and handles.  Not something that flows with the rest of the furniture in her room.

My husband got to work sanding the dresser and then painting it.  He used a slightly off white color that matches her nightstand and desk.  Since the accent colors in her room are blue, pink, and green, he also spray painted the handles to match.

Voila!!!  A new makeover on an old item.

What's Your Favorite?: Mugs

I've decided to start a new series called "What's Your Favorite?".  I'm simply going to share some of my favorite decor, items, colors, etc. to try to inspire you to find some of your favorites too.  

MUGS

I love coffee.  LOVE IT!  It's nice to drink in the morning, relaxing at night, warms the soul during rainy afternoons and cold evenings.  But to fully enjoy the soothing concoction, you need just the right mug.

Personal Collection:
Here are my favorite mugs from my own cabinet.

This was given to my by some awesome friends.  I fell in love with the polka dots and it quickly became a favorite! 

This Be Our Guest mug was a souvenir from a gift shop in Disneyland.
