Project; Dresser

I have posted a few different times about working out a plan for my dresser and time and time again I have put it off.  I could never come up with a pattern or design that I liked on it so I habitually put it off and I FINALLY found a pattern that I loved and knew that it was what I was going to do.



Materials:

Frog 10pk Duct Tape.Opens in a new window
Frog Tape (I bought a few monsth ago)
I believe it was $7-8 roughly.

Sherbet Colored Painters Markers.
9.97 at walmart.


I started off with a solid white dresser.. 3 drawers.. and my inspiration..



My inspiration is a Lilly inspiration, Lilly Pulitzer that is.. And she is a southern girls dream!


The stripes were my other inspiration, and this too is Lilly.

The Process:

I had to figure out how to do the flowers and I found that working from the inside out was the easiest for me.



I made a lot of the flowers fall off the side to fill up the space.


Then I of course did the normal Lilly thing and I placed her name in a few places on the drawer.


The most time consuming part of course was the little star/flower things and they took a very long time!


Okay so you get the idea...
Now for the stripes...



And for the ALMOST finished dresser.. and by almost finished I mean still needs a white coat.. and I still need to find drawer pulls that I love!



Im pretty much in love and I freehanded it all.. NO stenciling whatsoever..

But Ta-da..
