This Dresser was a laminate faux wood so to me personally it didn't have much redeeming value as is, so it needed an updo! It did have great lines and detail so I felt there was real promise there, I just had to work for it and work I did. You can see more at https://www.facebook.com/Shabby2UniquelyChic

This is also the dresser that goes with these nightstands

Mary strong on Apr 03, 2014Truly a beautiful piece! How long did it take? And do you ever make your own chalk paint?

Lauri Black / Shabby 2 Uniquely Chic on May 02, 2014@Beth I used chalk paint, which makes it so easy, because it sticks to anything. Also you do not have to sand before hand which is difficult with the kind of (non) wood. If you use latex paint you have to sand, use extra strong primer, and then there is still no guarantee it will not scrap off. Chalk paint or milk paint is the way to go, with a nice wax finish in the end.
