Three Drawer Dresser Makeover

I'm so exited about this new paint, I cant help it! I have to show you the little three drawer dresser I started working on tonight. I found it on Craigslist for $10!!! Such a find. Thank God for UT students moving for the summer. Here are some before photos:





I didn't realize I had the time stamp on my photos :(. Oh well. You get the idea. This piece is in good shape. No wood filler or Gorilla Glue necessary! That's always a great start when I only paid 10 bucks.

This little lady is unfortunately not real wood, so she will get a full paint job. Sometimes if the wood is nice, I like to stain the top, but the veneer on this one is a little cheesy. I had a hard time resisting the urge to use my new color, Paris Grey, but I need to turn these dressers as fast as I can so I can buy a little nicer furniture for my portfolio. So, this one will be painted in Old White (which I love) like the last and I will need to hunt for the perfect piece for my grey paint!

Hopefully I will get some time Saturday to finish this up!

Have a happy Friday!
