One down 4 more pieces to go!! I am so happy with the way this dresser turned out, my daughter is too! I love the look of pine furniture, but this piece over the years started to get an orangey color that I was not diggin. The pieces in Mackenzie's room are our original bedroom furniture before we went and bought our new set in darker wood.

What a huge difference a bit of paint can make! I'm not a fan of that orangey-pine look either!
Cannot wait to see when it's all done and in place!

Martina-That turned out gorgeous...and just enough distressing to make it interesting. Sometimes when there is too much distressing I think you lose the "lines" of the piece. GREAT job- I can't wait to see the other pieces. xo Diana
It looks great in white Martina!
Nice work!
Pam
Looks lovely in white! Great job!
this is beautiful, I would love this color of paint, I'll have to see what they have here,
I love it! I am loving AS pure white more and more. It's so awesome that you were able to transform the dresser like that. Can't wait to see the mirror.
That's beautiful, Martina, I know the rest of the pieces are going to be just as nice. YOu will love it when it's finished.
Love it Martina! What a difference and can't wait to see how the mirror turns out!
Martina, it looks great. I love the white... I amazes me how a little paint can turn an old piece into a perfectly new one....Looking forward to seeing the mirror. Blessings!
It looks really good, Martina! What a freshening up for the plain pine look.
It looks so fresh and updated! I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can start our dresser and two night tables. I had planned to strip and restain the tops. Now seeing your tops painted I'm not so sure. How many pieces can you get painted with one can of AS? Hope you share the full room when it is done.
Great transformation Martina, it looks so fresh and new now:)
I LOVE it!
Love that beautiful fresh look, Martina. Great piece.
The dresser looks amazing. I am so happy you didn't distress it to death. It looks gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

Hi, Martina! What a wonderful transformation! I love the new bright, fresh look with just the right amount of distressing. You're making me want to start painting something!
FABULOUS!!!! You did such a great job too!

Gorgeous Martina!!! I love the dressers new look and can't wait to see the mirror! :)
Kristi
You did a wonderful job painting the dresser, Martina! It has just the right amount of distressing to keep it looking fresh, too. I'm certain that the room will look just perfect for your daughter when it is completed. :-)
Martina, the dresser looks gorgeous! What a beautiful transformation! We did the same thing with our daughter's bedroom furniture a few years back and she is still enjoying it to this day. Can't wait to see your room finished!
Fantastic, Martina! I love it ... no wonder your daughter is thrilled! Did you have to add a primer coat first because of the knots? I've had readers email me asking about chalk paint with pine; and, I've told them that they may want to consider slapping a coat of Zinsser on first to cover the rugged knots.
What a huge difference a bit of paint can make! I'm not a fan of that orangey-pine look either!
I love your blog!
