a peek at a new project

It’s been a while since I posted last so I thought I’d give you a peek at the dresser I’m in the middle of refinishing.  We picked it up at our first estate sale auction for $1.00 because no one wanted it!  Pretty sad because I’ve never seen a dresser new or old that is not only a dresser but also a desk!  I was pretty excited to wind up with it and I can’t wait to find a little boy’s room for it to call home.  Since the piece was already blue (dull and ugly though)  I decided to keep it blue.  This dresser will be fit for a pirate once it all gets a coat of navy paint (the shell is already done) and quite a bit of distressing to show off the layers of paint and to give it the old Pirates of the Caribbean feel.  Maybe I’ll add a touch of gold to accent it!  I mean, every pirate needs a little treasure!  Argh, matey!

Medieval blue might be more suited to a knight!  Too bad.  It’s painting a pirate’s chest instead!
