Dresser

When Sofia, Meghan, and I first moved in to Sawyer Three, we were inspired by the plethora of freedom that was bestowed upon us, and decided to express ourselves with.. well a plethora of colors. With a yellow sunroom, orange living room, green dining room, blue kitchen, and pink bathroom (which you witnessed the transformation of here), and not to mention purple, green, and gray bedrooms, we were living in a crayola box. Please don’t judge us; we have since learned to calm ourselves and slowly transform our apartment into an oasis of cohesive luxury. Too far? Well we've come a long way..

In the midst of pulling colors left and right, we thought, “what would go better in an orange living room than a purple dresser”, duh. Again, we are two years older, and much wiser, and have since changed our living room walls to represent the soothing tone that we would like to represent our penthouse:

Our purple dresser no longer had a place in this living room and desperately needed a makeover. We snagged this dresser from an estate sale when we moved into our apartment. Speaking of, most of our furniture came from that estate sale, and I recommend that for any college grads looking for furniture. Back to our dresser:

I am in love with this handle. Greek god meets mermaid...

The challenge with this piece of furniture, was that the colors needed to match: our new soothing walls, the black frames on the walls, our dark wood coffee table, grey and white space rug, and tan couch covers. My goal was to somehow make the whole room feel cohesive, and not let the dresser be the main attention of the room. For the new colors I chose:

I wanted to the colors to be similar, so there was no drastic difference between the drawers and base of the dresser.

And without further ado, our new dresser....
