I knew I was sick the minute I walked through Pottery Barn.

Not only did I actually consider buying a brand new chest of drawers that was exactly like ones that I already had in storage; the ones in storage had been handmade by my grandfather.

I needed to get to a hospital.  Clearly I was suffering from (idea) exhaustion.

After telling my agent and publicist and manager and lawyer to alert the presses that I was taking some time off to “rehab” some furniture, I got down to business. These chests weren’t in the best shape when I pulled them out of my 10×14 space; they were scuffed, missing some pulls and needed a serious jolt of energy, but they had potential. Having recently relocated to Austin, Texas, we’d been setting up house and noticed that our bedroom needed something…electric.

Electric Orange. Benjamin Moore Natura Zero-VOC paint.

I started by sanding down the chests, and then got to the business of applying coat after coat of paint; followed by adding some vintage crystal pulls. The look that I was hoping for was a Sixties Pop, shiny, how-fabulous-am-I-and-check-out-my-go-go-boots look.

I think it worked.

And now, back in my body and out of Pottery barn, this is just the beginning.

Stay tuned…next up I’m redoing a fifties chair that I found a vintage store….
