I was in love with this piece from the get go. I have done at least two or three of this exact same piece, but in the "adult" size! I just finished this "mini" version as a birthday surprise for a very special 8 year old girl. My client Nicole "stole" it from her mother in law's yard sale ....and even amongst all of the ..."what are you going to do with that ? It's a mess!" She soldiered on, and gave me a little ring a ling.

I was given complete free reign with this piece, and so I went to work coming up with a design plan. I tore out the old bottom and replaced it with a shiny new one, and I added a beautiful pink and navy floral paper to make it frabjous. I chose a blue stripe wallpaper for the drawer to pull in the blue from the flowers below, a little pink paint, some floral knobs and this little beauty is ready to belong again. 

I love taking pieces like this one from "death row", and turning them into fresh faces for cool spaces! 

When Nicole came to pick it up, she said : " I knew it would look better, but I had no idea it could look this great!"

Yessssssss, mission accomplished....
