Project #1 has sprung.
Gray dresser via Ikea is now prettied up with a chevron pattern.
Taped out using a ruler and marking simple guidelines with a piece of chalk.
Sanded down the lines by hand with sand paper. Then, wiped with clothe.
Painted 4 coats over the course of the day with white paint/primer mix.
Let dry over night and peeled the painter's tape away.
Removing the tape was most nerve wrecking and it does need a few touch ups.
All together, I'm pleased and thought the project was easy.
Will post finishing photo after I make my way to Anthropologie to pick up new knobs.
Before:
(what are we watching!?)
Successful project.
Need's a few finishing touches and knobs next.

Oh wow, very cool! You did a really nice job. We have an old dresser in our house that I "get" to take to college with me next year. It needs a little sprucing up... maybe I'll try something like this on it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Niice. I can't believe how even you got your lines to come out.
love it! awesome job! i stumbled across your blog from another... from another - you get the idea, and i'm glad i did! i'm a wife, designer by profession, and a mom of one- soon to be 2 precious little ones. i LOVE seeing/reading inspirational blogs- be them from a design/crafty perspective like yours or a love of the Lord - they all help inspire me and kick me in the butt at times to get to work on my own 'space' a bit more! thanks for sharing! i look forward to stopping by your blog from time to time - feel free to do the same =)
