the new living room corner


This corner has been my project the last few months. I've been slowly working on it as I have had time.

The dresser used to be in the nursery. I REALLY liked it in the nursery, but it had an old smell, so it ended up not being functional in the nursery. Our house is small, so I need everything to function well.

I decided that it would work in this little corner. I was getting bored with the small bookcase and wanted something  little more substantial and practical. With a baby that will be crawling soon, an open bookcase isn't really going to work.


Enter the dresser. I mixed my own paint and got busy. The lamp is another thrifty revamped lamp with a new linen shade.

This corner is now one of my favorite little spots in my house.

  2. I'm obsessed with the new color. It looks so great - it it a smokey-blue in person? Photos make it hard to tell. What a huge difference in that area. Love it! Great work.

  6. Hi, My husband has the exact same dresser from before we met, but the top drawer has never fit right, so it doesn't close all the way nor does it get used often. Well, looking at yours, I just realized the drawers are in the wrong order on his. D'oh! lol Thanks for helping me save his dresser. Now maybe he will use it now that it actually functions! haha
