Gold Dipped Navy Dresser Set
by Sarah Trop
I took old bedroom decor - painted the pieces and now the set looks sharp and classy.
We bought a bedroom set that is fondly known as the mermaid dresser set. Here it is before:
I know a couple of mermaid lovers like the scales, but I wanted them to go bye bye. So, we flipped the panels so the scales are hidden inside the doors and painted the set a dark navy with gray undertones. I went with Benjamin Moore’s Wescott Navy. If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post at FunCycled.com. I wanted the base and legs to have a gold dipped design. To achieve that look, after you paint it navy, you’ll have to tape off the top and spray paint the base/legs with gold spray paint.
Finally, I added gold hardware.
Here are the afters!

This is the only painted furniture project I have viewed that I thought turned looking better than the original wood. I didn't like the fish scales either. The handles are very pretty.
