I am dying to find a dresser like this beautiful coral one that Destiny from A Place for Us painted. It looks similar in shape to the yellow painted dresser I did for a friend.

What do you do when you’ve fallen in love with the chalkboard walls popping up all over the internet these days, but aren’t quite ready to commit to a full chalkboard wall (or have a husband that thinks you’re crazy when you mention the idea)?
