The Big Blue Dresser

Hi friends!  We are one step closer to finishing this room redo!
That looks just smurfy Papa smurf!

Here is the before
Well, part of the before.  It's the only pic of the dresser I have

I actually love the blue; it's just a big honkin' dresser so I felt like all that blue needed to be broken up a little.  Enter IKEA magnetic board.
I put a magnetic board on each side of the dresser.

And the best part?  I get to move all these off of here!
As much as I thought I wanted a "clean" fridge it's depressing me.  It's making me think of a day when I will miss having the filthy little hands moving filthy little letters around on a refrigerator.   Not to mention, you don't notice what a sad, sorry fridge it is with all the letters on it.  So I put some back on the fridge and moved the rest to the other magnetic board.

I had all these shapes from an old Melissa and Doug toy.  A little hot glue and some magnets will do the trick!
 

I considered just painting Big Blue in magnetic paint but I didn't want to have to have to wait for all those coats to dry.  I figured we could reuse and repurpose these boards for many years to come.  The magnetic paint can be pretty stinky too and I wanted to get the dresser back in our son's room ASAP!
I know, I know, I need a bigger lamp!  I'll get around to it one day.

Let me know what you think in the comments.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
Blessings,
Jamie

  11. Adorable! I have a stainless fridge that ironically isn't magnetic and I hadn't thought of attaching a board to a cupboard-until now:-)

  14. That's a great idea! By the way, when I took all the magnetic 4x6 photo frames with family photos in them off the refrigerator, it was white again, but my son-in-law was sad that all those great family photos were gone. So I put them back. :-) Anyway, my refrigerator is my family photo album. Love the blue of that dresser!

  15. Saw this big blue beautiful piece at Saved by Love. I hear you about the clean looking fridge. My kids are all grown and I miss having their artwork and fingerprints everywhere. But I still keep some pictures on one side of it. (They actually never stuck to the stainless steel front)
    But, I love what you have done here - and good call about the magnetic paint. Unless it has improved over the last year it never worked well for me.
    Love your blue dresser - please share after the artwork and photos are added! :)

  16. My son would love that dresser, especially with the magnetic board. He's older, but loves to be able to pin up awards and such from school.

    I'd love it if you would consider sharing this project on my Thingamajig Thursday Party.

  19. I like it. It is a bug pop of color and I think it fits a child's room. When I start a project I am impatient too. I looks really nice. Good job!
