Apple Harvest Dresser





I picked up this cute little unfinished oak dresser six months ago and it's been in one of my boy's rooms. When he left to return to college last month, I stole it from his room and "girlied" it up!

It was in really great condition when I bought it, which made me initially reluctant to paint it. But I'm really not a fan of unpainted oak furniture.



So out came my trusty can of ASCP Old White and in the course of a few days, in a garage with triple digit heat and the exterior of my house being painted (shabby chic is not a good look for a house), I transformed this beauty. I lightly distressed it and then sealed it with a clear wax.








I've been feeling so inspired by all the wonderful fall decorations out there in Blogland, I took a stab at "fallifying" this dresser in an apple harvest theme. But it doesn't feel like fall here, it's still so hot!





This dresser is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.






Isn't that green milk jug cute? Estate sale score from a local California dairy that is still in business!

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your kind words and encouragement!

  2. Such a pretty dresser!! I love that style with the ASCP in old white. I love to paint furniture as well. I have a desk I'm really anxious to paint but it's turning a lot colder here and may have to wait until spring. I sure hope not... Your blog is super cute too, by the way. I'm visiting from Art is Beauty and the Twirl and Take a Bow link party. Have a lovely day! P.S. I'm your newest follower! :)

    1. Thanks so much for the kind words and for following along! And a little jealous that you're having cold weather. It's still in the upper 90s here! :)
