A Little Birdie



I was lucky enough to come across this dresser while on a walk. The neighbours were just going to throw it away! I waited until my husband got home so we could go and snatch it up. After I got it home, I sanded this dresser to scuff up the finish. Then I primed it using a little foam roller and a brush to get in the corners. I painted (also with the foam roller) with a white latex paint with an eggshell finish.

I drew the bird and branch design onto contact paper and then cut it out. I placed it to the drawers and spray painted using Krylon's Watermelon.



I covered everything with two coats of spray Varathane.

Here is the result:

  8. Very cute! I love the graphic and the color! Did the varathane yellow at all? I am always nervous since I have heard that can happen.

  13. Hi, I just came across your site through Primitive & Proper. I love your Mod Podge work and I am very interested in doing this myself. Can you tell me the steps you apply to do this (in detail if possible). Please email me with your instructions daubin56@yahoo.com. I am going to continue to follow your site, I saw that you also have some stenciled furniture that I want to also view. I really like these ideas because I am a beginner and do not know how to free hand paint. Your pieces are REALLY lovely. I can't wait to do this on my own. I appreciate your time if you send me the instructions. Thank you
    Happy Thanks Giving
