For A Special Little Girl

I don't know about you, but I can spend several hours looking on Etsy. The clothes, jewelry, art, and of course furniture are just some of my favorites. I was asked to paint a dresser similar in style to one in the shop Tracey's Fancy. If you haven't seen her work, you should definitely check it out. She does tons of crazy cool furniture and it almost always has handpainted designs and bright colors. I was honored to be asked to paint something to look like hers. Why ask me and not the girls at Tracey's? She is booked out for custom painting for 16 weeks! That would stress me out. Clearly everyone loves her to-die-for designs.

Here is where my client got her inspiration. This dresser is for a baby girl on the way so naturally the colors chosen were a classic pink and ivory. I painted the whole thing with Old White chalk paint first, then used Henrietta (with Old White mixed in to lighten it up) to paint on the designs and accents. I hate to copy someone else's work, so my husband and I quickly made up our own monogram design for the sides of the dresser.

I sure hope she likes it, or I'll have to find someone else who is having a baby girl starting with the letter F :)
