The Painted Dresser (or Nightstand)


I spotted this gorgeously painted navy blue dresser on Lavender & Lilies today (designed by cutie, Nate Berkus), and it inspired me to transform an otherwise regular piece of furniture into something special (I have a couple of nightstands that may or may not get a similar treatment!).   Love the punch of color this can bring to a room!





Here's an old tear sheet I have been hanging onto forever.  I just can't get over how cute this is... perfect for a kid's room.



Or maybe, you prefer a punch or orange?









Or, green maybe?

  6. I think a little paint on an old dresser can do wonders for just about any space! And yes, that dresser would be adorable for a kids room :)
