Curbside Dresser Cures Yard Sale Blues

I love yard sales, but during the winter months in Iowa, there aren't any. I miss going to them and hunting for treasures. But, a few weeks ago, my yard sale blues were cured for a little bit with a great curbside score.
I picked up this dresser on the side of the curb! I was so excited. It was so heavy and all wood. I knew it could be beautiful when I was done.
The first thing I did was clean it up. It cleaned up very well and whatever adhesive that was spilled on the top scraped right off.
Next, I used two different County Chic Paint colors on the outer shell and the drawers. I used white paint to paint to add interest to the front of the drawers.
I also added some new knobs. You can see the entire transformation on my blog post.
Enjoyed the project?
