Old Cabinet Make-over

I found this old hand made cabinet at a local junktique store and thought 

I could do something cute with it...

Before Pics:

The original paint is bumpy, like tiny balls (hmm)

I gave the whole thing two coats of antique white paint before I went on with Benjamin Moore Trout Gray. Then I sanded the edges and all over to give it a very distressed look. I like how the original bumpy paint came through when I sanded it. I rubbed my go-to glaze all over it to dull the paint and make it look older. 

I topped it off with a cute antique glass knob I already had.

It is currently residing in my entry hall; but will likely move to the back porch soon.

paint: Benjamin Moore Trout Gray

glaze: Ace Artistic Finishes glaze (10 shots of Raw Umber)

Shabby 1920s dresser w/ mirror

We found this old gem at one of our favorite consignment/junktique stores in Abilene, Tx. I didn't buy this dresser for a specific purpose; just knew that it was too cute to pass up.

It has ended up in my sister's new extra bedroom and I think it will look great in there once the room is finished. I love the original beveled mirror, keyholes, and casters. When I bought it the woman said she thought it was made in the 1920s and the casters are wooden.

I bought these new white ceramic knobs at Hobby Lobby to brighten it up a bit.

This is the only before picture I have...(right of the table)
