Bird and Tree Headboard and Dresser Set – Tuesday’s Treasures

Good morning friends! Last week was insane here… insane on so many levels. The furniture projects were some of my favorites in a while. I was able to work with fun colors including orange, yellow, vintage teal, exotic lime, and white. It was also fun because I was able to try new techniques like gold dipped furniture and had fun doing some hand painted designs like you’ll see on this post today. I asked our Facebook fans to vote on all of the pieces we did this week to see which one they would like to see the before and after pictures of on Tuesday’s Treasures. The bird and tree headboard with the matching tree branch handled dresser won the votes by far! Want to be part of the fun in FunCycled and help us make decisions on projects?

Here’s the before picture of this dresser.

Amy had bought pieces from us in the past, but is buying a new house and wanted us to customize pieces to go in each room. She stopped by to check out what we had and liked the look of this dresser.

She also saw a headboard that I had on hand that never made it to our Upcoming Projects page. It was solid wood and cute from the get go.

We decided to paint both pieces Benjamin Moore’s Decorator White and distress them.  Then I hand drew the bird and tree design on the headboard and painted it black. The dresser pulls are from Pottery Barn.

I love how it works together as a set and can’t wait to see it in her new house. We also went and did a Color Consult to pick the wall colors for her new house.
