Living Room Fabric is ordered

I found this fabric online - for about six dollars a yard cheaper than a local store - and since I had some extra money (overpayments from family) I decided to go ahead and order it so that I can match the paint color when the dresser is completely sanded.  Of course, they are predicting rain all week - we have had rain almost every day, almost the entire month of July - so we may not get it painted as quickly as I hope.  That's okay, I still have other projects to keep me busy.  So, I hope to paint the TV stand the dark turquoise color in the flower mid left.  So pretty.  Even though, it would look pretty in a limey green too!  Like this inspiration picture.

Bedroom Curtains

I found these curtains on Joss & Main's site yesterday.  They will be perfect for the bedroom.  I researched Target and Walmart prices, and the cost to make curtains from fabric and I cannot make two panels as cheaply as I can buy these, so I went ahead and purchased them.  Some of the French Provencal furniture will be used in the bedroom (headboard, footboard, night stand, chest on chest) and will be limed.  I hope to paint one wall a dark magenta (purple) color and the other walls a really light teal color.  The room will have dark and light teal accents, including these panels.

French Provencal Dresser to TV stand

I purchased this vintage French Provencal bedroom set on Craigslist a while back (not the night stand on the bottom left though - I believe it is from Restoration Hardware - it is my inspiration for liming the headboard, footboard and night stand).  I plan to revamp each piece.

I started stripping the dresser top first.  The dresser will be a TV stand.  Here is the inspiration for the TV stand. 

Originally, I planned to stain the top a dark stain (Kona).  After stripping the top, I think it is too gorgeous to stain a dark color as it is a beautiful light color and has great wood grains.  Now, I plan to stain it a light color to bring out its natural color and beautiful grains in the wood.  I will have to polycoat it though to protect the wood from the television, etc.  The bottom of the piece will be painted in a dark turquoise to match the darker turquoise in this fabric - Covington Savannah.

I'll update more as it progresses.
