This week my baby Crewe (ok, FINE! he’s not a baby anymore, he’s 4 and a half, but he’s my BABY, ok?) started Mother’s Day Out~ and the silence in our house for those 6 hours was W E I R D.
I found this dresser on Craigslist, and ran out to buy it. It needed some TLC, but the shape was gorgeous!
I really wanted an old, chippy finish- and ended up with a color close to Oatmeal that I love! I think I’m trying to will Fall to come with Oatmeal colored furniture. Is it too early to decorate for fall yet, cause’ I’m dying over here!
The inspiration for this Oatmeal Chest was my sofe table in my entry..
Okay, Fall, PLEASE COME SOON!!! I want to decorate with beautiful fall colors N O W! Mmmmkay, Thanks!

I love the oatmeal finish and was wondering what paint color and brand you used to achieve it. Your furniture is beautiful and you have inspired me to refinish some of my own pieces. Thanks
HI Rachel, I’m sorry, I don’t give out my new finishes. I do list most of my favorite paint colors in my first eBook, but my newer finishes aren’t included.
I just love the chest and the hallway console. I am interested in how the top of the console is finished. Can you provide any instructions? Thx so much….love, love, love your blog!
Heather
I LOVE THAT!!!!
