Last month I found this basic dresser at an estate sale. It was plain. Boring. It had no character. So I decided to give it some.
I could envision stripes on this one, so I grabbed my Frog Tape that I won at Carter's Cottage and starting taping off stripes. I used Napoleonic blue for the stripes to give it a grain sack effect.
It reminded me of a Greek flag!
So I reached for my sanding block and began to distress the stripes.
Much better!
What a perfect piece to put together a display for July 4th!
Let's party here!

I love grain stripes on furniture and this version is so happy and perfect! It's amazing and I am sure it will sell really quick!
I've been loving Napoleonic Blue lately! It looks gorgeous on your dresser!
There is nothing more summery than blue and white! Great for a beach house! Love it! Saw you on Make it Pretty Monday!
