Frugal Friday~

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.)



Now it's your turn...
