Welcome to Monday ladies and gents! I hope you all had a great weekend! It was chilly and rainy here the whole weekend.....BUT....both of our munchkins ended up spending the night with friends and so the hubs and I had a 24 hour date/dinner/movie marathon! It was fantastic!
The word "goody" makes me think of my newest friend....."Gussy". This piece was a beautiful little french dresser, but alas she had seen better days. I picked her up from a local dealer who was cleaning out his warehouse, and couldn't wait to get my hands on her! I wish the before pictures could capture how bad things really were, but oh well.....guess you have to trust me on this one!
I tried out a new paint on Gussy, and so far I am liking it, but want to try it several more ways before I give the verdict and full endorsement! I will be doing a full tutorial on my finds, and will be sure to let you know all of my tips and tricks. I can definitely see me adding it to my assortment of paints for those projects that require this specific look.
Gussy is painted in a very subtle and pretty shade of duck egg blue, and the knobs are yet another addition to my ever growing knob collection. I love the retro feel that they give this piece and yet they are neutral in color for versatility. Gussy is in the etsy shop if you would like to bring her home!

I love the new paint color and the knobs. I wish I had a place in my house for this piece. Thanks for making Mondays and the twins' 3 a.m. feeding fun. Have a good one!
I really love the knobs! They're fitting perfectly to the shape & the new colour!
I love the knobs! Honestly, every time you post a new piece I want to run out and paint something. We have this tall skinny liquor/wine cabinet with a glass door, and I had been thinking about painting it for a little while...until my husband told me he bought it in the Amish Country in Southern Ohio...and that it was handmade by Amish.. I would feel really guilty painting it now, knowing that. Haha. So, I just took fabric and covered the inside of the glass door so you can't see all our booze!
She is simply lovely - and what fun knobs. I like the layer look.
that is one of my al time favorite color families to use- that dusty aqua. it looks wonderful, as usual!
That's definitely my fave colour combo - love her all 'gussied' up! Plus my dog is Gus and I always call him Gussy, so special meaning :)

What a pretty blue! I love the knobs, they are wonderful. Those pieces that give you the most trouble are the ones you end up most proud of in the end because of how much love you put into fixing them and making them beautiful again. :) You did a great job on this one Barb, its perfect!
I think it is just perfect! And her name is so pretty too:) Can't wait to hear the new products.
Barb, this is just fantastic from top to bottom. I adore it. You did such a fantastic job. I can see your talent & vision growing and growing. I adore the styling with the fading flowers. Such a perfect color combination. Well done!
Adorable, especially the knobs!
Gussy is beautiful! One of my favorite colors. And, of course great knobs as always! Have a great week, Barb.
