Turn Your Rummage Sale, Vintage Dresser Find Into a Tuscan-Style Look-Alike With Paint

Bought from a church rummage sale about a year and a half ago. No one wanted it because it was so big and bulky and old. This vintage dresser, however, is solid wood. About 72 inches long. And ready for a gorgeous paint technique. It was so heavy we needed a few brawny guys to muscle it into our SUV.
It did have it's flaws . . .
You can't really see some of the badly marred surfaces on the top and drawers from the pic, but they are there.
Once home, however, I couldn't decide what to do with it. For months the dresser sat in my front room. So many ideas tumbled around in a sporadic, spastic-like way:
Doing the usual couple coats of paint and calling it a day was clearly not the way to go here. The colors, the blending, the effort were what really made the painted buffet above stand out. And the Tuscan style would pretty much bang up my mundane decor. Big plus: it wasn't $3400.00!
I moved my new Tuscan-style dresser into the family room where it serves as a Media cabinet for a flat screen TV. The storage is phenomenal and it really classes up the place (if you ignore the jumbo-size dog bed nearby).
Thanks for reading. Please share!
