Before and After Fabulousness!

So a while ago I purchased a great dresser for the girls room... and thus began my first furniture make over! 
Here is the before pics that I almost forgot to take... there were gold pulls on these drawers
 Here is the dresser with some primer on it...


After the beautiful aqua spray paint : ) I was in love already. 

Then from some fabric I had got inspiration for these cute trees. After many layers of pink and yellow I finally finished yay!! This is what held up the process the most. 

Here is the close up of the schnazzy handles that I love! 
 What goes better with a cute dresser than an newly refreshed head board?.... no before pic here, but it was just a plain white head board before.  We (me and my sister...a pro upholsterer) added 4 layers of batting and then this super cute fabric accented with some brightly colored rick-rack. 
A close up of the cuteness : )  We completed this all in just a few hours soo rewarding!



After finishing up the head board we got inspired to start the quilt that started it all... and finished it in just 2 days of working a few hours here and there.  All it needs now is a backing and to be quilted :)

 
This flower is applique' ...it's the first time I've ever attempted it and I was pleased with my results.


 This isn't the girls bed... just need some muscle to get the room moved around and then we'll have a final pic with all the components all together : )
Soo... after 2 days of finishing the dresser painting, making a head board, and a quilt I'm feeling accomplished and so excited for the girls new colorful room.
