Ye Olde Red Brick House

I know this post will make men cringe, but since I'm single and have been forever , I seen no reason not to paint my dressers PINK. :) I've had this dresser in my room for at least 5 years... not only were the handles all over the place, but it had been drawn on with a marker. I found this awesome dresser set at a yard sale last month for $40! I removed all the hardware and sanded them all down, even inside the drawers. I painted all the dressers a light pink, sanded the edges and antiqued it with the same green paint on my bedroom walls. I picked up some cute rose knobs at Orchard Supply. I am really happy with this set, as I can't stand gold trim. I found some cute crystal knobs at Hobby Lobby. Every drawer was lined with rose scented drawer liner. :) This also explains why it has taken 4 weekends to paint my room... these were at the least a 2 day job.

My floor vent is in the dining room, and my 1 year old grand-daughter was always getting a little too close for comfort. Since I don't have the money to replace it with another original, I repaired it. I found a piece of metal with scrolls at Hobby Lobby for about $10. Painted it and the floor grate with Rust-Oleum Universal Spray Paint in Metallic. Then used a steel glue to attach the scroll. I love the way it turned out!
