Out of old make new.. Irmas kids room dresser..

I really wanted to get rid of this dresser. I thought it looked like a huge, spooky coffin, who weighs a felt ton and looks horrible. In my opinion a really mean object.

Because Vladimir wasn’t too fond of it either, but didn’t want to throw it away, I tried to sell it on the internet. Even then no one wanted to have it and who can blame them!!

and after..

Before

I couldn’t get rid of this thing and so it found itself between the moving boxes and I was still lumbered with it.

Since we didn’t have anything to lose and I had furniture-paint-fever, this monstrosity had to bite the dust too.

So Irma’s room wouldn’t become too green, we chose a light maroon tone and a strong blue tone as final colors, fitting the bench mattress’ fabric.

I admit, I still wouldn’t put this dresser in the living room.

But it fits surprisingly well into the kids room. It reminds me a little of Alice in Wonderland.

None the less it now seems a lot friendlier and nobody has to be scared of any villains in the dresser.
