Dresser Refinish...

Here is the dresser i had my dad haul to my house from Britni's old house in NP. She had it sitting outside as decor on her front porch the last few years. I decided it would make a good project so i brought it home. The dresser used to be my mom's when she was a little girl, and i talked to my grandma Cena about it, and she said that she bought it used at like a yard sale, so we figured it had to be 50 years old. (sorry mom, that kinda gives away your age). I forgot to take before pics of what it looked like before i sanded it down. it was white with old yellow draws and ugly brass hardware. As i sanded it, i discovered it also had been a few other colors, including a very ugly bright green.

Sanded down and ready to paint.

My loving husband put a new back on for me and made a few other repairs!


Here is the finished product! I painted it brown and the draws a green color called 'fossil butte'. the picture doesn't really make the color look good. I put the dresser in our office, which i am going to repaint the fossil butte color. i also changed out the hardware to brushed nickel knobs.
