It's even sweeter if you like the imitation better than what it is imitating.
And such was the case when I opened an email from Norway and saw this.....

| via En Vintage Drom |
The writer told me how my dresser inspired her to make one of her own.
Now I want to copy the copy.
And how about those old time graphics on the side doors? Pretty nice.
The blog is in Norwegian (that's what they speak in Norway right?) but the email came to me in English.
It wasn't the first copy of my Kodak Dresser.
This one is mine.
Another lady emailed me with this one that she made.....
I walked by my suddenly boring brown bedroom dresser and gave it a sideways glance today. I could paint it white and put black letters on it........

ReplyDeleteBliss that dresser is truly amazing and one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see why that dresser is getting copied - it is amazing, Bliss! I think it will end up in a magazine! Love both of the copies as well!
ReplyDeleteBliss that dresser is truly amazing and one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you should ask her what transfer method she used for the graphics on the side - they look awesome!
ReplyDeletewow, those are ALL awesome!!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! ....Paint it!.... :)
ReplyDeleteNice that you are now officially international! They are all great, as well as a part of history. Kodak is getting completely out of the film/photography business.
ReplyDeleteYour talent is wowing them overseas now? ;D You are an inspiration for the masses, my dear.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great reproduction! I'm with Angie - ask her what transfer method she used for the graphics on the side doors! Yours is still best, but the white does give it an alive look.
ReplyDeleteIt just shows how inspiring you are.
ReplyDeleteThat's because you are friggin fantastic! I love all of those dressers... one of these days (when I find a dresser) I will copy it too :) It is awesome!

That is so cool!! My latest "flattery" was ogling a coworker's Michael Kors watch. I figured out exactly which one it was, shared the link with my husband, and I magically got it for my birthday.
ReplyDeleteAm I talented or what?!

Always nice to get an email where they were inspired by something you shared.
ReplyDeleteSee how you're setting the bar!

Keep up the great work,
Deb
Isn't it nice to see others be inspired by your creativity and show you their twist on things? I love all the dressers, but I have to say the Norwegian version takes the cake! Just beautiful thanks for sharing.

That is the best form of flattery. The other is having someone admire and comment on you work. I love the cameras on it. Looks like you achieved both.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason it is getting copied !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, clever, inspiring. ;)

And that is what makes the blog world such a wonderful place! International Inspiration! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBliss, that is awesome!~ How sweet that they let you know. I could totally see why they would copy.
ReplyDeleteI do love that dresser from Norway! Looks like your talent is being noticed by a lot of people. That's great! That was nice of them to send you a picture and let you know that you were their inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI do love yours but see what you mean about the white one. And now my wheels are turning ... I've got a dresser that I painted and hate and maybe now it would look good with some white paint ... and black typography. Hmmm ...
ReplyDelete:) Linda
A GIVE AWAY, YOU SAY?! How about you give away that sweet dresser? To me.
ReplyDeleteMy buffet in my dining room is filled with my photos. I have been putting off the refinishing till I decided on something I really liked. I think I've found it. :) Yours and the copies are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow fun is that? You make the most awesome projects, Bliss...it's no wonder they're inspired!
ReplyDeleteI'm a woman of few words today. Wow ... wow ... wow!!!

"Wow" works for me, especially like dressers.... in triplicate!

Now that is cool!! I still want to copy that Rock and Roll Dresser you did, but it has to get in line with my 500 other to dos around here.
ReplyDeleteMake 'em and sell 'em! You'll be a bazillionaire!
ReplyDeleteYour Kodak dresser could inspire anyone, anywhere! Both copy cats are lovely and a true compliment of your talent:)
