    That grey is such a beautiful color! Nice job Shaunna! I like that you kept some of the original hardware as well!

    Shaunna, this is beautiful. I love how clean and pristine it looks. The paris grey and the napoleonic blue look so great together.

    Oh my do I love this piece. Perfect for your sons room. And the knobs are a wonderful addition. Paris Grey is one of the next colors I plan to order.

    OMGosh get outta my head! I had just thought to paint my son’s chest of drawers in similar colors with different knobs, but this is how I pictured the outcome. Love the handles are they original?

    This dresser is beautiful! I have a quick question for you. I have an old wooden vanity table that I want to refinish – would you recommend stripping off all the old paint or just applying a primer coat and new paint? Thanks in advance!

    Glorious! I love it. And no I’ve never heard of captain’s uniform inspired anything, but it turns out it’s quite lovely!

    Chalk paint is really becoming a big thing. So awesome! I’d definitely be tempted to draw on those drawers. Has Grayson colored on it yet? (using chalk of course)…

    p.s. I love egg nog, but I never knew it helped you paint better! I’m gonna have to try that :)

    Beautiful! I found your blog while looking for inspiration on how to paint the dresser in my bedroom–which exactly matches your son’s. (bonus–I found it on the side of the road, for free!) I love how this looks with the contrasting colors. I think I’ve found my inspiration!
