A Dresser Goes From Gross to Gasp

This is a pretty common style for older furniture; it’s so orange and clunky! :( The good news? It was an awesome transformation once we were done with it!
Here is the before:
This set was done as a custom order! It was in our customers family for years so she didn’t want to part with it. She also REALLY didn’t want to use it as is. I can’t blame her!


We painted it using Benjamin Moore’s color Silver Fox. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our http://funcycled.com/projects/how-to-paint-furniture/ post. After we painted it, we heavily distressed and glazed it. New hardware always helps. If you’re going for a traditional look, try hardware like we used!
