DRESSER REDO FIRST PROJECT

A client of mine left a dresser behind in their rental home. It looked almost brand new and was in great condition. But I wanted to turn it into something shabby chic for my daughter's new bedroom redo.

I started with seafoam green paint for the peekaboo color that would show through the white when I distressed it. After a couple of coats of the underlayer, I used wax paste on the corners and edges then painted 2 coats of semi gloss white and sanded off the edges.

I then installed new vintage looking knobs. Not bad for my first project I think.

AND SO IT BEGINS...

It has taken a bit longer to get things going than I had planned but I am so excited to be jumping into my repurposed projects. The first few projects are ones that have been sitting in my garage calling my name. I will be doing a vintage dresser for my daughter's room and my first sign as a gift for a friend. Once those are finished, I will be posting items for sale. Garage sale weather will be back soon here in Arizona and I can't wait to go treasure hunting for my next project! See you soon!!
