Another Find

I know, I'm obsessed with campaign furniture. But I just can't get enough. This was not a planned purchase. I saw it on Craigslist for 40 bucks and couldn't pass it up. The wood is in really good shape but I am still thinking of painting it this color...

A really rich cobalt blue in high gloss. After bringing the hardware back to life, I can see a white porcelain lamp and an over sized fern sitting on top. Can you see it?

Have you found any good finds lately?

Campaign

If you are a regular reader, then you already know how much I love mid-century campaign pieces! I even did a post about if I were a piece of furniture I would be a campaign piece. Weird I know, bare with me.  The picture to the left is actually a vintage campaign dresser I found on Craigslist this past year and painted.  Usually they are really pricey ranging on eBay for a few thousand! I found this beauty for a steal.
Anyway, I was thrilled to see that CB2 has a credenza that is very similar to a campaign piece.

Similar right? I love the gold hardware in contrast with the gray.  What chic storage. Way to go CB2!

The Campaign is done!

I am super excited to show you the pictures of my completed campaign dresser! I have always wanted a piece of campaign furniture and now I have one of my very own. I love the sleek midcentury modern feel with an elegant, yet masculine brass hardware. As silly as it sounds,if I were a piece of furniture I would be a campaign piece...LOL!

(Before)

Above is a before picture of the dresser. Similar color but look at how tarnished the hardware was. I used my tried and true friend....

This stuff is amazing for ANYTHING tarnished. It is really gentle and brings out the original luster. Even better it will only put you back a few bucks at your local grocery.

I also painted the wall behind the dresser to make the dresser pop in my entryway. It also makes my entry way feel like its own room! The brown is Benjamin Moor's-Bittersweet Chocolate. It is one of the winter colors for Pottery Barn.

Now the next thing I have on my list of "To-do's" is to figure out what cute objects I can find to put on top :)

If you have any suggestions on accessories for the dresser, I would love to hear them!
