A Little Dresser In Flow Blue Milk Paint

Did your parents ever ask you if your were raised in a barn?

Mine did.

I'm not sure why.

I'd never even BEEN in a barn!

Before this little dresser was moved to my garage 2 years ago, it had spent the previous forty or fifty years in a barn.

So in essence this dresser was raised in a barn.

Poor thing.

She was quite dirty and a little cranky, too.

She needed a good bath.

Well not just a bath.

A really good scrubbing.  With sand paper.

Then she got 2 nice coats of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Flow Blue.

Then she was really bright and shiny.

Loud, you might say.

Too loud for a petite little thing like this dresser.

So I gave her a couple of coats of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint White Wax.

Now she's a bathing beauty.

I hope she gets to live the rest of her life on the beach.

After being cooped up inside for the last forty years . . .

She deserves it.

Bless her heart.

 

And by the way. Those knobs are from Hobby Lobby. The starfish were bronzy. I painted them white.


Have you ever met a dresser that lived in a barn for 40 years? 

How did you teach her manners?
