Morganton Dresser Makeover
2 Materials
This vintage Morganton dresser was a steal of a deal that I picked up at my local Goodwill. Priced at just $50, I couldn't pass up this beautiful piece of furniture. This is how it looked when I found it.
It was really pretty as is (look away now if you don't like painted furniture!), but I decided to give it an update to better fit my decor.
I lightly sanded the entire piece, vacuumed and cleaned it, and then primed it with a good adhesion primer. I then sprayed two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance paint in "Cumulus Cloud." The color is a soft, versatile and warm gray. This paint is quite durable on its own, but for added protection, I sprayed a couple of coats of topcoat on the top.
The brass hardware was quite tarnished and dirty, so I shined it up with Brasso. It looks so pretty now against the warm gray paint.
