All Dresser-ed Up and No Place to Go!

Pin It When the dresser is in the revitalized guest room at WhisperWood Cottage, it's okay to be all dresser-ed up with no place to go! So, come on in and make yourself at home!! We've updated a vintage metal dresser with a fresh coat of white paint. Want to see it? Well, get ready to...

MOVE THAT MOUSE!

We used a crazy list of supplies and do-dads to get the job done!



Check out the full tutorial at Amy's Guest Room Dresser featuring Krylon & Rockler over at The DIY Club. What's coming up next? More new stuff in the guest room.

We're welcoming company this weekend to celebrate the holidays! In fact, we're planning on a trip to a local tree farm to pick out this year's Christmas tree. I'm guessing tree decorating and cookie baking will follow!

Over the river and through the woods,
to WhisperWood Cottage we go...

No, really. That's how you get here.
Stop in for a hot toddy, good cookin' (not mine, silly!), and tree trimmin'!

    it looks so much better white! These days I've been taking to metal dresser and striping them down to the bare metal! They look really cool! If you get tired of the white you can try the metal thing out!

    That room looks so peaceful and relaxing, your guests are never going to want to leave! I love the little bit of whimsy with the greyhound above the bed.
