Well I finally finished the makeover of the dresser to match the nightstand I did several weeks ago and as promised here is my recap on the project. Let me start with a few facts. The first being that overall this project took me FOREVER, just because I didn't have a lot of time to commit to the project and we have had rain several weekends in a row which didn't allow me to work on it. This is because we do not have a garage and I have been doing the work on my open porch. Anyway I am more than thrilled to finally have finished and extremely happy with the outcome.
The steps for this are the same as for the nightstand so I will just do a quick recap. Here is the starting point:
First I removed all the hardware from the drawers, wiped them clean and sanded them down. At this point I filled in any scratches and imperfections with wood filler, then sanded those areas down as well.
Next I applied two coats of primer and two coats of paint. I then repeated all of these steps for the dresser portion. Reattached the hardware and put it all back together. Here is the before and after:
Seriously does it not look fantastic, I couldnt have asked for it to look better. It also works great for the space and really brightens up the room. This was a big step in the overall makeover of our guest room. I will soon post about that as well now that it is coming along at a steady pace.
So what do you think? Like the white?
