Finally a Project!

With Fall in full swing, I decided to start cracking on getting a few things done that I have put off for no other reason than pure laziness. 

Hey, you gotta love my honesty!

Anyway, we bought this Provincial dresser and nightstand (not shown) at an Estate sale in CA months before we moved. It's intent (dresser) was to become our new vanity in our master bathroom but it sorta found its

 home in the dining room. 

Since I have a weak heart for the French look and I am a advocate for black, that was my choice for this piece.

I think it's really going to pop and be a huge part of

the overall look we have going in the house.

Black is wonderful but only

in bits and pieces.

I'm using it as an accent and am 

incorporating it through the house

to tie it all together.

Living with eclecticism, I personally

think you need to have some kind 

of element to tie it all together.

"Just my unprofessional opinion."

Our dining room is between the 

living room and kitchen,

so to me, it's kinda the anchor of the house.

I'm using things that both the kitchen

and living room have (wood tone and color)

to unify all the rooms.

And my beloved black.

Here is the anchor with a wet paint job.

I am letting it cure for a couple of days before

I finish with the distressing, antiquing and waxing.

I'll share my personal techniques with you

when it's done.

As I was working on this, my mind was working

overtime. Since the Mr. is working full time 

outside of the house, projects here are going 

a little slower, so I decided to do a little

sprucing to make it pretty until

we get to it and do it right.

Oh, I'll be sharing!

See ya back here in a few days with my

"Beautiful Antique French Treasure"

Enjoy your weekend!!
