I love painted furniture!
Maybe a bit too much, but seriously taking something ugly and old and making it pretty and new again all for just the cost of a can of paint?
I say yes!
I bought this beauty (ha!) from a FB resale site for $20.00. If you've recently priced dressers, then you know what a bargain this was!
The middle drawer pull had fallen off, but they luckily still had it.
I decided to redo this for Colester's room.
(The paint cans are to keep the mess off the garage floor)
I love bright primary colors for my little's rooms, so I chose this
paint plus primer in the color Cranberry Zinger.
I loved that it already had the primer in it, so I could skip that step,
but I still had to do 3 coats. Possibly overkill, but better safe than sorry.
I took the hardware off and sprayed it all with a Metallic paint & primer
in the color Dark Steel.
For a little fun, I used some leftover metallic sheen spray paint I had hanging around to spray the interior of the drawers blue.
This had 2 purposes -
1. It's cute! 2. I always like to make the drawers as clean as possible when buying used and this added a barrier over the cleaned wood.
Here it is up in Colesters's room!
I love how it turned out and now we have some much needed storage space!
(Side note - check out Mr. Giraffe - he was a gift when Nate the Great was a baby. Hubs has spent the past 9 years trying to get rid of him cause he's huge.
I love him, so he stays! Chalk one win up to me!)
Have you painted anything recently? I'd love to see it!
