COLORFUL CAMPAIGN DRESSERS


One of the things I miss most about living in New York as opposed to the suburbs is having time and space on the weekends to fix up old furniture (or tackle an inexpensive DIY — remember my Union Jack dresser or these campaign tables? they're in my brother's dorm room now!). The thought of painting a Craigslist find on my fire escape is kind of laughable... Not to mention how I'd ever transport a dresser by myself sans car. 

In case some of you find yourselves in a similar living situation, I wanted to share these awesome new pieces at Grandin Road. They have the classic campaign-inspired lines that I usually look for on Craigslist and at flea markets with all the pizzazz of a paint color you'd choose yourself. Find the chest here and the console here. Do any of you share my penchant for fixing up older pieces with a fresh coat of paint?

I agree, that is a tough thing about NYC living...I have a little thing I want to spray paint but so not interested in breathing in the fumes!

I absolutely love painting furniture now. Started with an old secretary desk off of Craigslist a couple years ago and hooked ever since!

These are great!! I especially love the second one. The Asian influence is wonderful.
