Pink LOVE

My husband and I received a precious gift from a friend of our’s when we got married.  They had taken our “Save the Date” we sent out and created adorable drink coasters for our new home.  2 years later, our sweet drink coasters had bit the dust which put me on a quest to find something unique and fun to replace them with.  Voila!  Feast your eyes on these GORGEOUS pieces of art. Aren’t they divine???!!!  I am obsessed.

Aren’t they beautiful???!!!

Pink Agate stones outlined in gold leaf.  So gorgeous.

My husband had this old dresser that had been in his family for many years.  It was actually his dresser when he was a baby and his brother’s dresser before that.  Considering the sentimental value of this piece, I was quite nervous to take on the task of making it new and fun again.  However, after MUCH consideration…  I went for it!  And I am SO happy with how it turned out!

This is how it looked when I began.  I had done a small bit of sanding at this point and removed the drawers and hardware.

This was after one coat of milk paint…  I was nervous…  but pushed on.

After the second and third coat of milk paint, I was feeling a bit more optimistic!!

Drawers and hardware on and I had begun the distressing process here.  I also re-stained the top of the dresser with a dark stain that turned out lovely.
