Dresser Makeover

Happy Monday everyone! Slowly but surely I am getting a few projects completed. As you know we got the beach condo last fall and have been working our fingers off  restoring and decorating to make the place more "us".
Last week I posted pictures of the guest room with recent nautical finds. I'm returning to this room again today as I have  finally  finished my  dresser redo and created a small reading corner. The dresser was free as it was a cast off in my attic back  home. I sanded, primed and painted it white to go with the other pieces we are collecting. I put a table runner across the top for the photo as it was blending in with the wall.
The wall looks white but IRL it is a creamy yellow, Behr Innocence. I love the shade so much I plan to paint the master bedroom that color back home.

The mirror, that I chopped off... luckily my painting skills are better that my photography skills, I got at Hobby Lobby for $20.00. It was one of their 1/2 off sales.

The little light house is a night light and the other items are items I've collected this summer.

I needed something in the corner so I pulled together a little reading corner. The floor lamp was a Goodwill find.The little picture frame I got at Dollar Tree, painted it white and added a ribbon. I printed the grand babies shot in black and white to give a more vintage feel. The magazine rack was $2.00 from a thrift shop. It was red and green and had holly decorations for Christmas. I painted it navy.

The chair was another attic find. I covered the seat in a navy upholstery fabric. Just stretch and staple!
The nautical pillow, another Goodwill find. I ordered the fabric from a lady on ebay to make the two pillows in the floor. And now it is complete. One more corner of the condo finished.

I had plans to go out thrifting today to some shops along the beach strand but the rain is relentless. I'm afraid to venture to my car without a life preserver. Anyone know anything about boat building?
Y'all come back anytime!

Thrifty Finds

Happy Blue Monday   Thrifty Treasures   and    2nd Time Around Tuesday    to everyone.

I picked up these "blue" items thrifting and grouped them together with grand baby 1's hand print. The nautical items were $5.00 for all, the handprint.... priceless!

The nautical grouping is on the wall to the right of this cute little night stand I found at Goodwill. For some reason the wide shot of it together turned out too dark. I found the table for $10 and all I had to do was clean it up, yea!  for once no painting required.... at least for now. I may paint it white later but am loving the touch of red for now. The lamp and picture frame are earlier finds but I don't remember what I paid for them.
Have a blessed day and y'all come back! I'm also linking with DebbieDoos Garage Salening Party
