This set is solid wood, which is SO hard to find nowadays. I painted it with a super pale gray that has a hint of blue in it. Then lightly distressed the edges and added a little bit of gray glaze pinstriping. It’s pale enough that it can be used like a neutral.

Walnut nightstand
Yes, it’s pink! What little girl (or big girl for that matter) wouldn’t want this pink nightstand next to her bed? It’s super high quality, made by Pennsylvania House Furniture, and is in excellent condition. It got several coats of bubblegum pink paint, and 6 new large glass knobs. A little distressing here, a little distressing there, and it’s ready to go. Or maybe you need a little extra makeup storage in your bathroom? Just think of all the things you could fit in these 3 roomy drawers.
Jenny Lind dresser
I can’t even begin to tell you how long it took me to prep this piece and get it ready for paint. The former owner had slapped some kind of something or other all over it, in an attempt to refinish it, but then gave up and left it. By the time I got my hands on it, it had been sitting in a storage unit for years and years. Can you say yuck?!
But I love love love how this adorable little dresser turned out. It reminds me of a robin’s egg. It’s not too big, not too small, and could be used in so many different ways. Great for a boys or girls bedroom, a baby nursery, or even a TV stand. And how fabulous would this look by the front door, to stash all that stuff that needs to be stashed….hats, gloves, umbrellas. I was even thinking it might look great in my dining room as a buffet. What a great place to store my placemats, candles, etc!
