Ombre Dresser

We needed a new dresser. It was a fact. And it might be because i have a fair amount of clothes. That take up pretty much the whole closet. Yeah i know, my fault, but that still does not mean i'm giving up my clothes. So we went on the hunt for dressers. In Portland it would have been no problem, find a garage sale, pick up a dresser. done.

But i live in a college town. where everyone needs a dresser. everyone. And man did they go fast. Either they were falling to pieces or gone after only being posted for 5 minutes. Well that or 300$ because they were "Shabby Chic" which might just be my least favorite phrase, possibly, in the entire world.

So i conjured up a plan. Drive to Ikea, eat some meatballs, and buy two dressers that i could paint exactly how i wanted, and knew were not going to fall apart for at least three years, maybe two, You never know they were the cheap ones.

Now i realized very fast that the nice thing about painting things from ikea is that they are already dissembled and ready to be painted. it's kind of awesome, i'm not gonna lie.And the paint was pretty cheap too. I just found a paint sample i liked and got all five colors on the card in sample sizes.

So after many hours and an entire season of Revenge. Ta-Da. Two ombre dressers. painted blue because that was the only way i could get my husband to approve multicolored drawers.
