I love One Kings Lane. I'm a subscriber even though my wallet can't afford them. That makes me a One Kings Lane window shopper. ;) It also provides some much needed inspiration! So imagine my surprise when I happened upon this beauty late one night. And then my gasp when I looked down and saw that price tag. $2295- Wowzers! I couldn't resist so I peaked...somebody apparently has that kind of money because it has already sold.
Can you believe that I had one of these sitting unfinished in my garage? Yes. The. Same. Exact. Dresser.
This beautiful piece was refinished in Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan in Old White and the hardware received a good Brasso cleaning. Thanks for the inspiration One Kings Lane!
Making something pretty doesn't have to cost a fortune! I'm grateful I was able to create one at a fraction of a fraction of that cost. ;)
Now, it's your turn.. go and create something for YOU!

I'll look into it. Thanks for inviting me!.. Carrie
DeleteThat looks so beautiful and what a great saving. That would go beautifully in my bedroom - if you'd like to ship it over to the UK I'd be very grateful!!!! (actually it would probably end up costing as much to ship as the one that inspired you so perhaps not, I'll just have to start looking out for my own to upgrade like this!)
ReplyDeleteThat's right... You CAN do this yourself and I hope that you do! Have a great week!.. Carrie
DeleteWow! I can't believe the price tag on that dresser! Your's look better and that chalk board is stunning! Thank you for sharing at Dream. Create. Inspire. Link! I'm pinning your idea!

Can you believe how overpriced it was? :) Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely comments and for pinning this project! Have a great week!... Carrie

ReplyDeleteGosh! Thank you! I'd love to come back again!
DeleteThat is gorgeous! I love One Kings Lane too and have only admired the furniture on their site. You did an awesome job recreating the $2000+ dresser and it looks exactly the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erlene! You made my night!
DeleteI love this. I must sound like a broken record, I say the same thing every time I come here, but it's true! I think you live in my head and see all the things I would love to have, and you make them, I just don't have your creative hand or the vision to see it! Wish you lived closer! Thanks for sharing at #WAYWOW pinned and shared on Facebook, love your work.
ReplyDeleteHaha Nikki! :) I think its so sweet of you to take the time to write such thoughtful comments. You could do this! I hope you'll push yourself to give it a try sometime. :) Have a great week!... Carrie
DeleteOk I have to admit I am a One Kings Lane window shopper as well, so I totally appreciate this makeover. Their prices are just a tiny bit to high for me. Your makeover seriously looks like the exact same piece. What a lucky find. Where was the dresser originally from? Was it a hand me down or craigslist find? Thanks so much for sharing at the Creative Circle Link Party!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb! I was actually fortunate to purchase this as part of a bedroom set from an estate sale.. There weren't one but two dressers that came with it! I painted the other a dark grey. If you're interested to see what it looks like in a darker color, you can do a quick search for The Manchester Dresser. :)
DeleteWow, what an amazing transformation. I'll take your version any day, I can't even imagine paying that much for a dresser. Thanks for sharing your thrifty makeover at Vintage Inspiration Party.
ReplyDeleteMe either! ;) Thanks, Betsy!
DeleteI've never heard of One King's Lane but that dresser is so lovely...and I am in complete awe that you had one already! You made it over so perfectly...!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the Welcome Home Wednesday link party...we really hope to see you again this week!
