Laminate Furniture Can Be BEAUTIFUL Too. Hand Painted Willow Dresser

by Art is beauty

Good Morning. I wanted to show you guys (as I have before ) that laminate furniture can be BEAUTIFUL too. I got this plain ole dresser from my friend and decided to I wanted to turn it into a piece of art and again keep this (and all types of furniture) out of the landfills. I know people are scared but it is just as easy to paint laminate as it is regular wood furniture. Head on over and check out the results.
