Now I have to decide what kind of style I'm going for and how I want to paint it. Here are a few ideas...
My initial thoughts of transforming this dresser were RED! I love the way this has been distressed with the dark strokes on top of the red paint. Looks very vintage, rustic, chic. This is a similar style to my craft desk that I found a couple of months ago at an estate sale.
This piece that Shauna refinished from Perfectly Imperfect is so beautiful! I love the contrast between the dark brown wood top and the white bottom. While I love this, I'm concerned about it not bringing enough color into the room. Plus, Justin is going to build me a dining room table (hopefully!) and I want to paint it in this style so I'm thinking that we need to paint the buffet a bolder color. What do y'all think? What colors would you paint it?
I'll want to switch out the knobs and handles for sure. All of these styles will go great with the distressed look. I'm so excited to get started! And I can't wait to show you what it's going to look like after I'm finished!

I love the red finish, I just wonder if it's going to be too harsh a contrast against the white/cream of your dining table. I think a pretty mossy green with a darker glaze or brown wax over the top would give you that same rustic looking finish you want but wouldn't leave your table set looking so stark white. Im not sure what other colors you want to incorporate but another option that wouldnt be too drastic would be a Tuscan yellow. Then you could bring your red in through accessories on your table; a big platter or serving bowl. Good luck, link up to MMS again when it's done, I'd love too see it!
