Hand Forged Stenciled Dresser
Meet Abbie, the ubber crafty DIYer behind the blog
Five Days...Five Ways. Abbie is no stranger to stenciling; you might recall her
Polka Dot Washing Machine project. Well her recent to-do list includes making over her little girl's room. She has this cute albeit simple white dresser that appeared to just be begging for some color and a fun loving pattern! Armed with the
Hand Forged Craft Stencil and some gorgeous aqua paint, Abbie decided to stencil this dresser back to life. To give it the ulitmate glam look, she painted the previous red flower knobs a delightful gold color. The soothing turquoise and white color combination is a great choice for the intricate pattern. Abbie says, "I LOVE it! Seriously, y'all. I went into this project not knowing quite what to expect from the finished product, but both the stenciling experience and the results far exceeded my expectations." Personally I think it's fab, what do you think? Oh, by the way Abbie is running a Cutting Edge Stencils giveaway that ends soon- so go enter

Meet Rita Joy, the crafty gal and the blogger behind
Harbour Breeze Home. Rita Joy bought this old beat up dresser from a local store for $20. Inspired to create her own Craft Studio, she began with crafting over this piece of furniture. She painted it with a fresh coat of creamy white paint. Then using our medium sized
Nagoya Craft Stencil, Rita Joy painted the stencil in a lovely shade of green similar to Benjamin Moore's
grape green 2027-40. After the project was painted, she found hardware that was left over from another project and added it. Now the new dresser has a fun little vintage sparkle that's perfect for holding all her craft supplies!
