Meet Theodor, the dresser

Meet Theodor.


Kind of a cute little guy, but I thought he could use some sprucing up.  I hope you can see I was inspired by Theodor Geisel, Dr. Seuss himself.

Of course I had to add a little "peek-a-boo" fun to the inside drawers.


I distressed the edges just a wee bit to show the black from the original piece.  The quote is from one of my favorite books, "Oh, The Places You'll Go".  Such wise words.


I love quotes.  And I love painting furniture.  Just the perfect marriage for me.

Thanks for reading,

I saw her amazing shark pallet art and HAD to create something of my own.  Thanks so much for the inspiration! Each one of these little guys was made with deconstructed pallet wood.  After blowing up the images, and creating them into line drawings, I traced around them on the woo...
