A "Before" & Some Art

I have just a "before" for you this morning... and it's borrowed from Design*Sponge. But when I saw this dresser on Design*Sponge a while back I was surprised - I had that EXACT same dresser sitting in my garage!



Why don't I have the after for you? Well... my in-laws are staying in our guest room which is where the dresser is right now ;) I could have been a prepared, good blogger and snapped a picture yesterday for today's post.. but I didn't. So I will be posting the "after" this afternoon!

In the mean time, I thought I'd show you a painting I just whipped up. I was inspired by this piece at Mrs. Howards:



I took a piece of wrinkled paper used for packing and went to town. This is the result:



I'll be back later with the dresser after!

Painting looks like it could be an Amanda Talley? Yours looks so pretty! I'm so impressed.

You did it! I remember all of us looking at the artwork and was like hmmmm...we could do that. Yours came out rather well. Maybe I should give it a whirl...

I have that dresser! -Haven't refinished it so I'm quite interested to see what you've done w/ it...

Also really like the artwork. Nice, simple line quality & crinkling the paper to add texture is brilliant!
