We hadn't been to our local flea market in several weeks. I'm so glad that yesterday morning we decided to make a trip to see what we could find. I found two vintage beauties... and the amazing part is I spent only $35. It was only ten dollars for the old wood and gesso frame and $25 for the dresser. I believe they are both antiques. They both need a little TLC, but I got them for a steal!
The frame has beautiful ornate details. It is currently painted an ugly high gloss white and some of the antique gesso is chipped off. I will give this beauty a makeover by painting it Heirloom White (with a satin finish) and then give it an antique glaze to enhance all of the details.
I haven't decided exactly what I will do with the dresser yet. I have a few ideas, but I'm thinking I might try something new with this one. I usually go for a shabby cottage white (safe), but I'm thinking of maybe putting some color on this one. Possibly aqua :)
I love shopping at flea markets! You never know what you will find and there are so many great deals to be found :)
Until next time,
Happy decorating!
