...not on me, but a piece of furniture that is.
I've had this dresser for a while - we use it as a side table. It was o.k. - just kinda blah or as hubby would say, "BORRRRing". So the other day I had a few minutes - and literally that is all it took - a very few minutes.
I yanked out those drawers - taking off the knobs took the greatest amount of my 30 minutes with this project. I dry brushed on some "Flood Tide" blue from a Lowe's sample jar.
It was dry in a jiffy.
And that's it - just a little paint on the drawer fronts really gave it some life that it desperately needed. Now on my next trip to Hobby Lobby - I'll pick up some pretty knobs and I'll be content.
These little projects are staring at me everywhere and since we are on the Christmas Home Tour again this year - I'd better be getting busy!
Now, only if a 30 minute makeover would work on me - sadly, I think it'd take a lot longer for the help I need ;-)
Happy November!

Cathy, that's very pretty! Isn't it funny how a list of 30 minute projects can hang over your head and not get done. Once you get started it's such a good feeling. I've been working on stuff like that lately too.
Ha Ha Cathy Me too I wish I could do a couple minute make over and look as good as that dresser! Great job it looks so fabulous.
