Some things just take time to bloom...

So this PRETTY PRETTY took some time to come around to her full glory!!

This dresser is part of my first "expensive" furniture set that I bought once I had started working fulltime.  It was a blonde wood set that I figured would last me a long time... .it has been about 30years!!... The "before" picture was probably taken two phones ago.. lol... at that time I had painted it in my absolute fav colour #AnnieSloanChalkPaint #duckeggblue.  I also was on Pinterest looking at all kinds of inspirations to 'finish the piece"... i did not even clear wax yet....

About a year later, I added the #chicmouldings.com beautiful roses... painted those white first.. then months later.. blue... then I painted the top drawer old white.... .. still no wax yet...  more pinterest searches...

then last week I went to get some more chalk paint at B/A Vintage Stockist in Whitby and saw the beautiful #PrimaMarketingTransfers in the shop... I knew right then and there that this was the icing on the cake....

so TADA...
finally completed... 3 years later... classics take time...
clear waxed and some dark wax as well to give it the old world feel...

I just love it....
