My bedroom dresser

I mentioned a few days ago that I had been doing some more ORBing (that is spray painting things in Oil Rubbed bronze coloured paint). You may remember a while back that I changed out the cheap looking silver knobs on my bedside tables.

Silver knobs to round dark ones.

Well I really wanted to do the same with the dresser an chest of drawers but it really wasn't cheap to do. So I did some looking around and saw a dresser at Pottery Barn with similar square knobs in a dark colour.

This dresser costs $1,715 but isn't she great.

I decided to try ORBing mine to see what it looked like. As I already had the spray paint it was going to be a free update. I found the four that I removed from the bedsides and sprayed them and put the on the dresser.

Spraying them after giving them a light sanding.

Here is the first test on the dresser;

Yep. I liked it. I liked that they don't stick out like sore thumbs when I walk in to the room. They blend in and you don't notice when they aren't dead straight.

Something else I have been looking at this week is Feng Shui. Apparently you shouldn't have a mirror facing the bed. This gave me a good excuse to remove the mirror. Something I wanted to do for a while now. So I got out my driver and removed the mirror. And while I was at it I re-styled the top of it.

It is such a nice fresh change. I should take some more up-to-date photos of my bedroom too.

Oh and I did the chest of drawers too:

Just the top two are done here as the rest were drying at the time.

It is nice to have a freshen up in the room.What I still want to do in there is;

- repaint the walls; probably white
- new bedside lamps or wall scones
- hang some match stick blinds like this
- buy new sheets, doona cover and cushions for the bed
- maybe add some paneling to the wall behind the bed
- change the colour of the furniture as I hate the red/brown colour. Looked much better in the show room display.

Cheers,
