Cutting Edge Stencilled Dresser & Giveaway!

Yesterday I  showed you some stencilling inspiration ideas.  The project I’ve been working on is the little dresser you see on the right in the picture below.

I thought it was a cute little number when I bought it for $20 at the Restore.  It was actually a really big mess…

I primed and painted it (Cottage White by Behr) one warm summer evening and have been using it in my Dining Room to store craft supplies.  It moved downstairs when I got all inspired to create a “Craft Studio”.
It’s creamy color wasn’t working with the scheme I had in mind. (And the distressing I tried on it didn’t really work with this style of dresser…)

So, I painted it a fresh, crisp white…(completely untinted out of the can in a semi-gloss finish by Behr).
Then…the fun part…
Cutting Edge Stencils contacted me months ago asking me if I’d like to try out one of their products for review.  I didn’t hesitate in answering yes! ~ Except, I had a terrible time choosing which stencil I wanted.  Their selection is huge.  You can check it out here.
In the end, I chose “Nagoya” in the medium craft size.

After impatiently waiting for the paint to completely dry, I lightly sanded the drawer fronts and stencilled following the video directions here with “Green Tea” acrylic paint by Americana…{**The kind lady from Cutting Edge strongly encouraged me to watch the video before starting to prevent any frustrations…I highly agree.}
Here it is before:

And after:

The lighting in that room is beyond frustrating to take pictures in.  But, really there is a difference in the main color…

And although the stencilled color looks a little yellow in the pictures, it is in reality a lovely green color…
vintage hardware
I had that old hardware from a previous project.  It shined up really nice and adds a fun little vintage “sparkle”.

Plus, I liked Cutting Edge Stencils on facebook because they are amazing!
