Old Dresser Redo
Taking something sad and outdated and transforming it into something beautiful? That’s my favorite. Especially with furniture. That's what I did with this dresser. I bought this sad number for $15 at a garage sale. It needed a lot of love. The drawers were fragile and starting to fall apart. (Thanks for fixing those, dad!) It was full of scratches and the stain was wearing off. But I loved the pretty scalloped detail at the bottom. I knew I could transform it into something dramatic!
Here's the before. The dresser had lots of scratches and wear, but a good solid wood foundation.
Here's another look at the dresser before the transformation. Are you ready for the after?
This dresser just shows that it doesn’t take a lot of know-how to make a big transformation. I didn’t do anything crazy. I simply sanded the dresser and the drawers; gave it a couple of coats of Valspar paint in Crisp Linen; and perked it up with new aged bronze knobs.
I love the classic look of the crisp white with the black pulls.
It's amazing what just a coat of paint can do!
