Pink Dresser. Seriously. Pink.

So, I picked up this dresser at a garage sale for a few hundred pennies.

I knew I was going to take it home the second I saw it. You would too. I know it.

First I painted her green. Eh. I liked it green, but something was telling me something different...that and my neighbor came by and said, "This needs to be pink." Huh. Pink. I NEVER paint anything pink! Why not? No idea. I just don't. But I did this time.


It's a great dresser! I distressed it quite a bit and the green comes through beautifully. Plus, I sprayed the pulls flat black and I think they look amazing!

Such a cute little dresser.



I'm lovin' the pink and green. What a great combo.

    Very great. Did people really lock drawers? I love the key holes though. The green and pink combo is great.

    oh i love it! it's the perfect shade of pink, and i love the original texture of the finish on the dresser showing through. and the hints of green are nice, too, but i definitely think the pink was the right choice!

    The pink is perfect! I have three boys, so I don't have any pink in my house. But I love this.

    No pink around here. All this testosterone floating around gets in my way. But I love this. Got to know how that crackle didn't get covered up or did you recreate it? Seriously. I must know.

    Cute! What carpet are you ripping up and what are you doing under it?

    I love the combo of pink and green. The black handles really set it off. I would have thought the same as you if someone said pink, but it really works! Great Job!!
