Not sure if you remember this dresser, but I got this off Craigslist for about 40 bucks. I have to be honest with you and tell you that I feel kinda guilty that I got it so cheap. It may not be your cup of tea but I really, REALLY love this dresser. I had planned to paint it white initially, but we encountered some issues and I turned to plan B. I must say that I love the final color even more than I would have the white. So without further ado, here are the befores........
Annndddddd here are the afters......
I had to share a close up of this flower. I (of course) got these down the road and I believe the gentlemen that grows them told me it is a gladiator. I am bound and determined to start growing my own flowers in the next few years. I just can't get enough. #nerd
When my FIL and I started painting the dresser white, all the years of grease and gunk started to bleed through. Sooooo, I went home and remembered that I had almost a full gallon of the gray that we painted Jake's bedroom. I decided that I would give the Behr Cathedral Gray a whirl and I couldn't be happier. I think this is my favorite piece of furniture yet.
What do you think? Yay or nay?

ReplyDeleteI know, I love a good bargain!!! I have to be honest that I love my cheap DIY pieces more than most of the new furniture I bought. Makes you love it more when you can put your own mark on it :-)
