You thought you’d heard everything.
Captain’s uniform inspired?
Yep.
And yes, a glass of eggnog helps you paint better.
Unspiked, of course.
Knobs by Vintage Skye
A clean mix of Napoleanic Blue & Paris Grey Chalk Paint button this guy up perfectly for Grayson’s room.
Doesn’t it just look like a freshly laundered Captain’s uniform???
Yes sir, I believe it does.

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.
I can’t wait to try the chalk paint. I only hope my projects turn out as fantastic as yours do, Shsuna.
that looks great- so very BOY!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!
Perfection!! Love it…
This dresser will follow him all the way to college. Perfect!
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?
Love the two colors together!
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!
I really need to get that blue! This looks great and I love the hardware. 🙂
I need to get that blue!!! This turned out great, and I love the hardware!
Love this Shaunna!!
OH my this is absolutely beautiful!!
Wow, it’s gorgeous! I love the color combo, and those knobs are perfect!
Love it. My sailing obsessed spouse: “OOOOOhhhh, cool. Niiiiice half-hull [referring to the boat over the chest].”
So crisp and it’ll grow with him really well.
Love it! Can’t wait to see the entire room when you are done. I am taking notes and getting ideas for my two little boys. Thanks for all the great ideas.
It’s beautiful and it does look uniform inspired. Love it!
Now that is a beauty Shaunna!
way cool Shaunna…way:)
I so want to try some chalk paint..wished they

Thanks SO much, everybody! I love this one–it really does pop in Gray’s room. You guys are the best!!

Soooo great!! Love the knob choices and overall look 🙂
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 🙂
Awesome work. Beautiful.
I love what you did with the dresser! It looks great!
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!
