Sailor Dresser


Here is a story about the little dresser that could.  I purchased this on Craigslist (as usual lately) and I first planned on painting it different pastel colors, but then decided to break out the painters tape again!  I would try to do nautical flags on this one, so my husband and I thought of what it should spell out.  What nautical word would fit (6 drawers, 6 letter word).  SAILOR it was.  I rushed to the computer to see if those letters were hard to do!  The rest is history.  I used Annie Sloan paint for this one, except for the yellow.  That's a Behr color match sample from Home Depot.  I brought them a nautical flag garland that I have hanging in my living room to match the yellow.  I don't even have a boat, lol!!!  And if you are wondering, no it does not spell sailor after all.  It's a word scramble now, because the drawers were painted out of order, and wouldn't fit the way I wanted!  The gold knobs were an afterthought, but don't they look great?!  It's going to be hard to part with this beauty.  Do you like it?
