My daughter moved into her first unfurnished apartment this year so we spent lots of time revamping furniture. I wish I had my before pic but I did not even think about it. This was a 5.00 find at a local yard sale. She was curvy and sexy but she needed help. She had been scuffed and had water rings and just looked tired. So I gave this gal a new look. Something fresh for life with a college student. First I was just going to paint her white and antique but than I decided on the diamonds (my daughter is an ADPi and a diamond is their symbol) The blue is also their color and we were doing my daughters bedroom in black and white with blue accents.
I think I measured and remeasured a million times..I swore I would never so this patterns again..but as you will see next week as soon as I was done with this one I did another project with diamonds. LOL We also found a cute pull at Hobby Lobby, but when I took this pic, we had not put it on yet..I also lined the drawer with scrapbook paper.
