The kids bathroom downstairs has an awkward layout, to say it best.

It also is lacking a linen closet, which really would be nice to have.

I had a friend mention that we should put a dresser in the bathroom for storage.

What a great idea!!

Addie Mae is my color girl – and so we searched for color of chalk paint that we could use to paint an old dresser that came with us from the farm but did not have a place to be yet.

Since we had pulled some blues into the family room with throw pillows and a blanket, and the family room is right outside the bathroom, we decided on this blue.

Then we got to work!

Addie Mae helped me paint it before she left for work one Saturday morning!

It took three coats before we were satisfied that the white was completely covered.

I did just a bit of distressing on it – for me a subtle distressing is more my taste!

The finished dresser looks cute in the kids’s bathroom, and fills the need for some storage space with all those drawers.

Since we finished this dresser, Addie painted our knife block with white Annie Sloan chalk paint!

I distressed and glazed it – and it is in the garage curing before we start using it again.

I guess the knife block is Annie Sloan project #3!!

I have my eye on an end table in the living room….but I am wondering if I don’t like it just the way it is…so time will tell!

Hopefully soon it will be time to garden – and I will get my creative outlet through something that feeds my family too!!
