I love graphics….and I adore words on furniture!
I painted this dresser by hand…..long before I was aware of Decor Transfers that can be used on furniture! Sure could have saved myself a ton of time….oh well! Let me pass that time savings on to you!

I painted this dresser with Irish Cream by Heirloom Traditions Paint Company. It is my go-to white when I'm looking for something soft without being too creamy in color. I love it….and you should try it! Their paints are superior! (Use FANCY when checking out to save 10%)
The furniture graphics were done by hand….after using a projector (like this one) to project this specific image onto the dresser surface….tracing it out with a pencil…and then coloring in the lines! It sounds tedious…but I absolutely love doing this type of thing. It does require a steady hand though….and many of you claim that you do not have that! So this is what I suggest…
Amazon carries transfers by IOD. This company offers a multitude of products that can be used on furniture…..like their molds that you make yourself and I LOVE! You can see a gorgeous desk that I used the molds AND their stamps on here. Their transfers come in all sizes and are perfect for this exact same look!!! I am including a link to one transfer here. It is the same dimensions…and will fit perfectly across a low wide dresser like this one. In my opinion, the transfers look best on white furniture….so this is perfect! You literally just peel back a protective coat….stick to the furniture…and rub with the little rubbing tool that is included. Their packaging is lovely….and instructions are clear! You really can't mess it up!
I hope this is helpful for those of you that would like this look…but don't feel comfortable with such detail work.
I also used furniture tacks to trim out the lower skirt of this dresser…and you can order those here.
