Loving Red ... part 2

I just finished painting a piece for a friend, this dresser was in sad condition. My before pictures are really after a lot of repair had been done but I didn't have any pictures of it in that state. Well, here are my before pic.

 The sides of this piece were badly damaged and it was missing a lot of its handles

I debated  with myself as to what color to paint it, I researched a lot of painted dressers so as to get an idea of what color would look best. Mustard, or yellow ocher, was a close contender but the owner of the dresser felt the same as I did, Red ...paint it red...so here re the pictures of the finished product.
 

                                                               First coat of paint...                                                     

   

 Second coat of paint and the piece was distressed and aged a bit.

 Finished piece all ready to go to its new home. I managed to find a few handles that were close to the ones that were original to this piece ...

however, I was short two so I had some grosgrain ribbon and I called it into duty for the top drawer, it can easily be removed when they find handles they like. 

Well that's all for this time,so

From my porch to yours...

Have a blessed week...

Today's verse: Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

THOUGHTS OF SPRING...

If in the Spring a young mans thoughts turn to thoughts of love then I must say that in the throngs of winter this old gals thoughts turn to thoughts of cozy...cozy feather filled comforters, cozy pots of homemade chicken soup, and cozy corners...well, here are a few.

The above picture is where I did my Bible study in the winter...then I brought my Hoosier cabinet home from the shop and now that is my cozy desk corner...still cozy to me.
  

 So I was at my friends house and noticed some pretty cozy corners there, so I snapped a few, with her permission, of course. This is Dee's home, it is warm, inviting, comfortable and exudes a feeling of love, truly a place that is packed with cozy.

Cozy kitchen corner...

                Large cozy...

 corners under the open stair way, love this area...

And I believe this is her Bible study area.....

She even has cozy corners on top of the fridge, maybe cold inside there but definitely not cold on top.

 I guess I don't have to tell you where this little corner is, that is an old wooden water closet, nyou gotta love that.

This isn't really a corner but it is so cozy I had to include it, Now I must go and have a cup of coffee, my ultimate cozy.


That's all for now...

So from my porch to yours...

Have a Blessed week.
