Today I’m sharing a couple more dressers heading to Vintage Market Days this weekend! This first one was in sorry shape and I had sitting around for several months.
I kept hoping someone would buy it for a custom order, but alas, it eventually befell my creativity. I was inspired by a floral inlay dresser at Anthro and created my own design, hand painting it.
I used a custom mix of MMS Apron Strings with Ironstone, then I used white wax on top to keep the tone very soft.
DecorSteals sent me these knobs to try and see what I thought… I love them! They are larger than what is typically found at Hobby Lobby, and I have a soft spot for ceramic knobs… They are also today’s deal on DecorSteals and my reader’s get a jump start on buying them if you want! You can buy a set of 4 HERE!
I used 2 boxes of knobs on this pink floral dresser.
I love how MMS milk paint chips and the variation in tone you can achieve… everything ranging from a raspberry color to a yellowy-orange!
Decor Steals also sent me some white and blue ceramic knobs, and I knew I wanted to have something white and chippy to use them with! MMS Milk Paint in Ironstone did the trick!
I went thrifting and found a bunch of blue and white ceramic vases and pots, and felt they would look so pretty all grouped together… bringing out the same pattern in the knobs.
Some cool crazing happened with this dresser… in several places, including the top!
These knobs are also the same size as the white ones.. much larger than what I’ve found with a similar shape and design at other stores. It makes such a statement without being too bold, don’t you think?
My friend, Jen from Girl in the Garage, also did a fantastic dresser makeover using DecorSteals ceramic knobs in black! Her’s is so classy with an awesome design.. you gotta go look! Click HERE!

i am in love with that pink dresser- you are so amazingly talented.
I love that pink dresser! How much are you going to sell that for? How much would you charge to ship it?
These are so dreamy, Rachel! I love that shade of pink, and your talent for painting by hand is incredible! (I’ve also got a blue and white vase collection started- yours looks so pretty) 🙂 Good luck at the market this weekend!
Both so beautiful, Rachel! The knobs look perfect! x
Great job on the hand-painted flowers!
Love the finishes on these chests and the knobs are very cute.
I love your work. You are so talented. Are you in St. Louis?
That s
That is the most darling shade of pink. I just love it! Also those blue and white knobs look like they were made for your piece. Perfect!
The coral one is just stunning, I love the painted details! Glad that you got to use your creativity on it!
Both look amazing. I love the pulls as well.
Rachel, both of these are so beautiful!! Featuring them on my Facebook page today.
These are gorgeous! I’m in love with the pink-ish one! Stunner! Did you free hand paint the roses on? And your staging is impeccable as well! Love it all!!!
I love the pink! What color and brand is it?!
Beautiful. I came across this post when trying to find out from what year is my dresser. It looks very similar to the one that you refinished in pink. Do you happen to know from around what year is the dresser?
