This dresser belonged to my mother-in-law when she was a little girl.
She gave it to Rob and me when we were first married, almost twenty years ago. When we moved to our current home, we gave it to Rob's brother.
I sanded and painted the dresser with Sherwin Williams 'Creamy' paint. It is now going to be used in my niece's room. I did a little staging before we took it over on Thanksgiving Day! These are some little shoes both my daughters wore.
Vintage coat hanger...
...and some vintage-looking paper to line the drawers.
I found the scented paper at Tuesday Morning...so, so cute and has a baby powder scent.
I replaced the big, round wooden knobs with these from Hobby Lobby for a sweet, girly touch.
After...
Before!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful! I love the drawer liner paper. Our daughter had similar shoes in red leather and they were my favorite. Wish I'd saved them.

Hi there. I'd like to use the picture of your white candy canes in a story I'm doing for CBN. It's about how the candy cane originated. May I use it? :)
Please let me know and Thanks!
