This tiny drysink is one of several pieces of "primitive pine" I received from my friend Donna, who was cleaning out her garage a couple months ago. I sat it here in a corner of my sunroom until I came up with a plan.
I wasn't entirely sure what to do with her since she is a little bottom-heavy (well, so am I, but no amount of paint is going to help that), but she had a cute little top half so I thought I'd put the focus on that.
Here she is, all dolled up with 2 pretty paint colors, new chickenwire to replace her screens, and sparkly glass knobs:
Ooooh, shiny.... I like shiny.
Her bottom looks a bit lighter now with the new paintjob.
She's painted in Glidden's Muslin White and accented with Martha Stewart's Rainwater. I just bought a sample can of the Martha color, and still have some left over.
I distressed a little around the edges to make the details stand out. But I didn't want to dirty her up with glaze or antiquing. I like her fresh and pretty.
I just found these dishtowels to match at TJ Maxx today. I need to stay away from there... :)
That is all of her - what do you think? Linking up to Susan at BNOTP for Met Monday!

She is sweet! You did a wonderful job on making her pretty.
I love Martha Stewart's colors. Rainwater, especially.
How gorgeous! I have walked past the chicken wire at Lowe's so many times, scheming...

Very cute! I like that you put on cute knobs.
Great job!! What a great way to re-do all that "primitive" pine stuff we used to own. :o) It looks so fresh and feminine, now... I LOVE IT!
Oh My Gosh, Tracy...that is amazing! You are so talented - my Mom would have LOVED what you've done with it- it's not the same piece of furniture. You gave it a second - and FAR prettier-life :-)
Love the transformation and the price certainly was right! Your piece looks so fresh and ready to give you a new look for your treasures.
Tracy, I love the transformation! The blue is so pretty! I love the chicken wire, too!
She is gorgeous!! The color choices are fantastic. And the chicken wire was the perfect addition. :)
Crisp like a spring morning!
