Blue Dresser Redo

Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  It is much too hot to paint now, but I have completed enough redo's before the garage reached 100 degrees!  
I am way behind on posting, i do think of sharing but can't seem to find the time.  Just don't know how all you great bloggers do it?


This dresser was clean and the drawers were dovetail and so much storage.  I felt this one would be 
perfect for a baby changer dresser.  I rarely do blue, but I had the white porcelain knobs with a blue circle on them, so that was my inspiration!  

Love the drawer dividers and I did paint the sides of drawers too!






What do you think about these knobs?


Vintage legs, love good legs!

Now I have a posting done, more to do soon, thanks for stopping by,

4th of July and Pussy Willow/Cat Tail DIY

I hope all of you are staying cool, So hot here, record heat temperatures!

I want to wish everyone a great 4th of July!  mine will be a quiet one, which is fine, June was wonderful, family visiting plus a camping reunion in which I might add I caught the most fish!  :)

My 4th DIY is again from my love of the cat tails that I collect every fall.  I have been sharing my obsession, using them for all holiday, and putting them in floral arrangements.  If you check out Pussy Willow/Cat tails under my Labels, you will see more plus a tutorial on painting them.  I Just so admire them, and they are very plentiful here.  Who knows what I will do next?

I used my patriotic Roo last year, love him!

Now I leave you with a favorite photo from a Norman Rockwell cookbook I found at a thrift store, loaded with wonderful photo's, not to mention recipes. 
Be safe for the 4th,
Marilyn
