Then I went dream-hunting at our local thrift stores the other day, and was thrilled to found this! See any resemblance with Rachel Ashwell's? Take a look at those knobs! The best part: it only cost me $110.00, including the three-way-mirror that came with it. I love to dream and drool over what I see, but finding ways to recreate the look with less, is just fascinating. Simple pleasures that stir up my 'easy to please' heart and contentment.
What you see here is the already finished product. I forgot to take a picture of how it looked originally, but here is a smaller version of it, which I too painted in the same satin white.
I don't see a huge difference between my dresser and Rachel Ashwell's; do you? In fact, I think I like mine better!
This "thrift store" chair you see here has its own story to tell. Read all about it here

Cielo!!! your dresser is way more beautiful!!!! you did a great job, I love it. I`m in the process of painting many of my flea old furnitures... well, my friend will do it for me, she needs a job!!
The way you decorate it on the top is soooooooo lovely!!!!

I do like yours! Sometimes items such as those mean more than dishing out the over $800 for one!
Great find and you made it look wonderful. I think I like yours better, too.
Good job.
I love your dresser--and your chair.
