Before and After First Edition

Before
missing a piece of wood...

After
This dresser is a Pottery Barn Teen piece. One of my neighbors had placed it on the curb due to a banged corner and a missing piece of wood.

Well honey lemme tell ya.. wood filler and some paint can cover a multitude of sins.

This is also a little sneak peek of our new decor in the den. I was so inspired by Layla's reading room, I just had to stripe something.

closeup of the finish
After a little elbow grease and some paint I think the faux finish and stripes really ties in the look of the den.


**stay tuned to see the look of the whole room.
