Lush...

I grew up in the late 70's and was a teenager in the 80's...
you know what that means, right?

Lots and lots of PURPLE!

Purple eyeshadow, purple eyeliner, purple leg warmers,
purple jumpsuits with big shoulder pads...
purple bikinis with matching sunglasses




and of course, His Royal Highness of Purple...


If it wasn't purple, I didn't want it!

It's taken me quite awhile to come back around to purple...
but now I favor a more bohemian version...
with a touch of grey for a sexy vibe
This sure isn't 1980's purple!


We custom mixed this color using a little of this, and a little of that


The hardware is divine, don't you agree?


We really wanted the smokey grey trim to stand out, 
so we outlined the top and bottom lips in 
glamorous silver leaf...the contrast is dramatic and eye-catching

Wondering about that fabulous grey metallic?
It's from Modern Masters!


How lucky am I to have found these gorgeous lavender roses?
The dresser is so lush, a dozen just wouldn't do!





Love this dresser?  You can find it in our Etsy shop!

Spun Sugar

This dresser is so sweet...it's reminiscent of spun sugar!

Soft, shimmery metallic White Pearl (sheer) from 
over a pale grey painted base coat







We used a light antique glaze to highlight the carved details and 
to add warmth to the silvery finish 




Royal Design Studio's Ribbon Damask is one of our favorites
and it perfectly fit inside the oval panel

We envision this petite piece in a nursery...wouldn't that be just lovely?
