| Sorry these were taken with my camera phone. The dresser looks much better in person! :-) |
I am very SUPER happy with the project I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. This project should only take one day....maybe two at the most but when your a stay at home mom you have nosey britches.... And it takes weeks! HA
Josh's grandma BC, whom he adored left this dresser to the family.
It has been over at Mase's Place Bar & Grill for the past 6 years and was used to keep the napkins, silverware, tea, coffee, etc. There was two of them over there and we remodeled the Bar this season so we decided to eliminate one. Josh and I have no furniture in our bedroom because we both have our own closets. I decided I needed a dresser to keep all my crafts and other things (Josh refers to them as JUNK) :-( He thinks I am a hoarder but I'm really not, I just like to keep sentimental items. Is there anything wrong with that???
So I decided it needed work and to be painted because I don't like the color of wood. Wood is boring and I LOVE BLACK!! Have I said that before? ha Here are the before, during and after pictures of my our new dresser!

Just a note: I DIDN'T SAND THIS DRESSER!!!!!! How cool is that???!!!
SUPPLIES
I changed all the knobs to silver instead of gold. I bought them at Wright's Do-It Center in Murphysboro for .50 on the clearance rack. SCORE!!! If you go there, go to the back counter and ask for Julie (cute and sweet blonde girl will show you where all the clearance is located, and any other items you need help looking for). I also bought black flat paint, primer, and mini roller from there. This project cost me a total of $20.00. I didn't want to spend that much but I have SOOOOO much primer and paint left. I need to find some more things to re-do/paint!! HMMMMMM
Love,
Breezy XOXOXO
