Before and After: A French Provincial Dresser From Drab to Fab
Su Casa member leahlarocca found this incredible French provincial dresser on Craigslist. It has a beautiful shape, but its grubby yellow finish was dated and drab. She wanted a show-stopping piece, so she ended up spray painting it silver and painting the trim gold.
Before and After: Renovating Family Furniture
Su Casa member Melissa Kathleen recently updated a piece of furniture that had been in her family for decades. She writes, "When my family and I had to move my grandmother out of her apartment, we didn't know what to do with all of her furniture. When I saw her old chest she kept in her large bathroom, I loved the shape and wanted to re-finish it."
Guess Who Designed This Chest?
I recently watched Sex and the City: The Movie again (still love it!), and noticed this chest of drawers in the office of Carrie Bradshaw's editor at Vogue. The dresser was designed by a very influential American interior designer of the early-to-mid '20s. She wrote an inspiring, and quite popular, decorating book in 1939, called Decorating Is Fun!
Crave Worthy: The Conran Shop Napoleone Cabinet
Antiques are beautiful, but sometimes I can't resist a modern interpretation of an old classic, like the the Conran Shop Napoleone Cabinet ($4,950). Lacquered with glossy green, the timeless form of this seven-drawer chest takes on a lively and witty attitude. Sadly this cabinet is astronomically out of reach for me, but a girl can dream, can't she?
Casa Quickie: Sticky Drawers
Aging isn't an easy thing to do. For antiques, the phrase "things get better with age" is nearly always true when it comes to aesthetics and market value. But sometimes they do need a little love to get their groove back.Before and After: From Dull to Punk
For some home decorators, music is a way of life, and that means that music must become a part of their home decorating scheme. Take Craftster member Anarchy_Onions for example. As you'll see, she isn't shy about incorporating her musical tastes into her home.
Etsy Find: Chroma Lab Fruit Stripe Dresser
I love people who aren't afraid of color. Take, for example, Laurel's Rainbow Bright Home. Thanks to her fearlessness of color, her home shouts personality .

Would You Use Alphabet Blocks as Drawer Pulls?
I spotted this photo on AT:SF, and I think it's such a clever, cute idea. AT:SF recommends using alphabet blocks as drawer pulls in a child's room, though I think it would be fun to spell out a cheeky word or phrase on an adult's dresser, too.

Crave Worthy: Pink Mother of Pearl Inlay Chest
When I see the Graham and Green Pink Mother of Pearl Inlay Chest ($2,726), I think I revert to the part of me that used to play with Barbies for hours on end, that spontaneously drops $100 on facial scrub and nail polish in Walgreens, that wears stilettos to an occasional Sunday diner breakfast. Regardless of the fact that I might fill this mother of pearl inlaid dresser with gym shorts and ratty T-shirts, there's a romantic, feminine quality about it that simply makes me love being a girl. Unfortunately, there's little place for delicate, estrogen-loaded furnishings in my bedroom, but it pays to dream right?
