Some of you commented on the console table in the post. I've had this midcentury modern piece in my garage for a while. I'm sure you've seen these on Craigslist or at garage sales. I forgot to take a before pic, but this is basically what it looked like, although not nearly in as pristine condition:
I had originally hoped to strip and refinish the wood to something like this:
The wood was in terrible shape, so I had to paint it. I couldn't decide on a color. I've had this Martha Stewart Plumage in my garage waiting to be painted on an accent wall in my bedroom. But, since that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, I decided to try it on the console and I like the way it turned out. The cream color is an oops paint I picked up at Home Depot. It's a ceiling paint, so it has a thicker consistency and seemed to leave more brushstrokes. I'm not sure a ceiling paint is the way to go on furniture. I finished the piece with a couple of coats of glossy spray-on polyacrylic.
Here's where I spent my weekend:

I always love a good camping trip! I always feel good after camping...it's a kind of relaxing that you just don't get on other vacations (c: And LOVE this dresser...I completely agree that you should add the gold pulls, it would be fantastic! Every dresser needs jewelry, right? (c:
you already know i love that dresser! it is so gorgeous and i do think the pulls would be lovely jewelry for it!
LOVE this piece! I've been dying to get my hands on a dresser like this! Love what you did with yours too! I think it looks great without pulls, I like the sleekness of it. But I think it would look pretty awesome with the gold pulls too! It would look great with the blue!
Dresser is gorgeous!! I think gold pulls would look good on it! Love your blog!
Gold-toned draw pulls would definitely add more interesting detail to a fabulous piece - great idea! Your camping setting looks idyllic!
You read my mind - I was thinking that your credenza needs hardware. The hardware will really give it a nice look.
Gorgeous! I love the martha color, she never lets me down :) I think gold pulls would look awesome!
Nice job! I'm starting to appreciate mid-century furniture more. I like the idea of the drawer pulls like the inspiration piece, maybe even silver, whatever goes best with your decor.
We're camping next week :) Looking forward to it.
I love mid century furniture! You did a great job and gold rings would look great! I just got back from camping also.
Such large console tables mostly facilitates with more no. of racks to keep our belongings into it.
