In one of my posts about the Tween bedroom I'm doing for Mr. One, I asked
your expert opinion about how I should refinish his dresser. I already knew what I wanted to do, so I was really just looking for validation from my infallible readers. And you all came through for me. I think it was pretty much a unanimous vote that I should paint the dresser gray. So paint it gray I did. I pulled out the same dove gray color we used for the
headboard in our master bedroom (Ralph Lauren's Moonlight) and went to town.
I have been wanting a dresser for the other side of the bed to balance it out. Then I remembered that we had a dresser sitting in storage not holding much of anything. So I found other places for the not-much-of-anything stuff, and finished the funny little dresser the same way I finished the first. Because this dresser had horrible rectangular knobs, I went to my local Tar-jay and purchased some great oil-rubbed bronze oval knobs. They really make both dressers look perfect...more tailored.

Now, keep in mind, I still have to style the room, but wouldn't you agree, that the two dressers look fabulous? (If I do say so myself.)

Always great ideas here and that canopy....to die for! Happy weekend to ya! Susie
I love the look of those two dressers. Because they're different the room has an eclectic edge though having the same paint colour pulls everything together. Love it. I've been looking to do the same type of thing in my master bedroom though am still on the hunt fo the right pieces of furniture.
