Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue,

Come Blow Your Horn.

 

Don't mind if we do! 

Blow our own horn that is!

 

We are so excited to share with

you this dresser re-finish!

 

 

 

 

 

We found this guy somewhere in Mississippi on one of our

weekend drives. 

 

It was in pretty bad shape

and falling apart.

 

 

 

 

A little bit of history we

found on the back.

 

 

 

This is one of the sides.

 

 

 

Here are the drawers.

 

And these are the trim boards/pieces.

 

 We had to make new drawer

guides for the drawers. 

 

 

 

 

We used some old barn wood

we had on hand.

 

 

 

Most of the drawers

needed repaired.

 

And we had to put these pegs

into place to keep the

drawers from falling

 on your toes.

 

  

When hunting for the knobs

I found these red gingham

ones and thought they

 would be PERFECT!

 

Unfortunately there were

only nine of these...

and one of these...

 

 

But I thought what the heck! 

 

 The mismatched knobs give

it character I say.

 

 

 

We had to place these boards

on the sides for extra support

 and to cover some wear and tear.

 

 

Turned out to be a WIN! WIN! 

 

I really like how they turned out!

 

 

   

Love, love, love the rough,

chippy, shabby, country look!

 

 

 The key holes were filled

in with wood putty.

So we dug the putty out. 

 

Much better!

 

 HAPPY FRIDAY
