my favorite dressers from 2011

We’re getting towards the end of the year and, since I don’t have any Christmas decor to share yet, I thought I would start sharing some of my favorites from 2011.  To start with, here are my favorite dressers from last year…

 

…the Swiss Miss herself…

 

…the Union Jack dresser…

 

 

…the gray milk paint dresser with the bone knobs…

 

 

…the super distressed aubusson and cream dresser…

 

 

…the cherry blossom dresser…

 

 

…the sea green milk paint dresser…

 

…I didn’t get a great picture of this one, because I was in a mad rush getting ready for Lucketts at the time, but I love this graphite dresser with glass knobs…

 

 

…the slate gray dresser…

 

…and it may surprise you to know this was one of my favorites.  This Greek Blue dresser almost ended up in the trash, but I put a lot of work into it and I love how it turned out.   I think it’s the one I wish I had kept…

November 2, 2026

On the way home from the Country Living Fair, my mom and I thought we would stop by a few antique stores.  We planned on shopping our way up to Rhinebeck, but the GPS routed us on toll roads, so we didn’t see anywhere to stop.  I should’ve planned out
