Beach Dresser

I had a thought that maybe if I gave a name to the pieces they would sell better so for now this one feels beachey to me. I have it painted not sure If  I'm totally happy with it. I loved the vision for it more then how it turned out. Maybe once the knobs arrive I'll love it. I was going to use the existing hardware on it a chunky wood block (basically) for the knobs the kiddos' and I encrusted them after painting with black sequins
not thrilled... so I found these great drawer pulls on Ebay from Anthropology 
The dresser top is stained dark walnut, the body is a diy teal chalk paint with a black wash then some distressing (not much) and a little stain rubbed in..

Distressed Armoire

Here is the Freshly painted and lightly distressed Armoire. It's the first time I've distressed a piece I've painted. It felt so wrong. I can hear folks like my father in law who was a skilled craftsman who made beautiful hand carved furniture and cabinets asking why would I do this? You mean  you just painted it and now you've worn it away on purpose? I do like the way it came out, maybe in the future I'll be able to distress more.
