Flower Dresser

 I  (and by I- I mean my husband,  who is the muscles of the operation) picked up a set of two dressers I found listed on Craigs List for $45 for the pair.
These poor babies had obviously been through a lot. I kept thinking of them as the furniture equivalent of  Katrina Cars.

I had been wanting to try a version of a dresser I had seen on Pinterest. 
After much cleaning, wood putty, and sanding I gave her a quick coat of Zinsser Primer (which did an awesome job of blocking the ink stains and burns on the top).
Then gave her 2 coats of Behr Gray Morning.
The fabric is 
Waverly Somerset Botanical Sun N Shade Fabric in Mist
And yes, I cut each flower out individually with my little sewing scissors.



Several people who reclaim/ refurbish furniture seem to have gotten into the habit of naming their pieces. Makes sense to me, new life, new name. What do you think her name should be? Rose? Lily? Petunia?
