Coral Painted Dresser

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.  The card catalog library pulls just makes me swoon.  This is Destiny’s debut project here on IC, so give her some love.  I know you will fall in love with her style like I did.

I was inspired by the Crate & Barrel Alston Panels for $99 a piece. So they were either way out of my price range or not long enough.

Queen Anne style furniture was first developed in the 1700s.  It is characterized by curvy legs and often includes carved shell and scroll motifs.  I certainly didn’t pick these pieces of furniture because of that but rather because they were free.
