Nursery Furniture ~ Before and After

Krista and Dustin are having a baby and needed furniture. They needed budget friendly furniture and they found this furniture set on Craigslist.
 
The previous owner was a teenage girl (I'm guessing) and did a number on her furniture.
The sides of the drawers had song lyrics scribbled on them and then her friends joined in and left messages too.  
When I was younger, I was notorious for writing on my shoes (the rubber part only....my mom might disagree) but never on furniture. It was like those shoes were just asking for me to write on them though....

BEFORE


 AFTER
 
The parents to be wanted something simple and classic. I painted with Swiss Coffee (no chalk paint this time).
 


 

Krista and Dustin had a gender reveal party so I was waiting to find out the gender before I bought knobs. Nothing I found was working with these pieces. In the end, I recycled the original hardware and used Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint to change the color.
 
Krista and Dustin will be welcoming their bundle of joy in February and they are having .....
 
 
 

P.S. Krista is a photographer and she does amazing work and if you are in the St. Louis area you should check out her Facebook page (click here). Heck, even if you aren't in STL, stop by her Facebook page and show her some love!

  6. Best Baby Furniture for your baby you can find on our website..

    Oeuf Classic Collection Mini Library. The only things i MIGHT change: wish it came in an optional all white so it was more mix and match-y (and not so match-y) with the other Oeuf items (I wish this about all their furniture), and I am unsure how I feel about the fact that you can see the screw ends. It kind of gives an industrial looks (only a tiny bit) and you can hide them with objects. Like I said–I sort of love/hate it. Lastly, the taller shelf could be slightly taller as their are some classic children’s books (Make Way for Ducklings, Madeline) that don’t fit standing up (too tall), but I just put them sideways, so its fine.
