    stenciled dresser

    Uncategorized

                                                       before picture,
    i painted the dresser cream, my mums friend had two of these and was throwing them away so my mum had one and i had one.

     i found these (stencils) well they are really vinyl wall hangings but i saw them as stencils lol. they came in a pack of four for £5.99 and they are meant to hang on the wall, but i had a better use for them,
    first i layed them on top of my ready painted cream dresser which i did a while back, then using white emulsion paint and a sponge paint brush i dabbed the paint on.

     after the stencil

     i have left it like this for now im contemplating rubbing the stenciled top down to age it slightly, this took me five minutes, and i like the fact that its white on cream so it doesnt take your eye off the beautiful dresser.

    heres what my mum did with hers,

      It's lovely! I love how subtle the stencil is, adding design and interest without taking away from the rest of the dresser.

      So pretty! The cream on white is such a subtle look, yet makes a statement…especially when styled the way you did in the pictures 🙂 Visiting from Knick of Time – Jill

      I LOVE this! I was just looking for something like this to do to the front of my daughter's dresser and now I have found it! I like the subtlety of it.

      BTW – I followed you!

      It's always beyond me why people just want to "throw away" a piece of furniture! Lucky for us though, huh! 🙂 I LOVE how the stencil is so subtle.

      This looks great. I even like the contrast of the stencil itself. ha Ha. I am visiting from It so very Cheri and am now a follower. Nice job!
