I had a vision about how I wanted to redo our dresser for that room and I think it came out exactly as planned. I don't have a before picture, but if you imagine a dresser the color of poo, with hardware hanging on by a thread and older than Methuselah, then you'll have a pretty good image of what the dresser looked like. We also completed this project before I constantly had the thought, "I could blog this."
However, we breathed new life into her and here's what she looks like now:
We painted her white, tiled the top in Talavera tile and installed ceramic hardware from World Market.
I have to give major props to Matt on this project; essentially, I just told him what I wanted and he did it. I did paint the dresser and put the hardware in, but he did the hard part of tiling the top.
We used blue, yellow and white 2 inch tiles and for the design in the middle we used a floral four inch tile.
Pretty, right?
Here is what she looks like with our bright southwestern mosaic canvas we picked out:
What do you think?
