DIY - Furniture Refurbishing - Finished Pictures

Over the weekend I sanded the dresser one more time and put a second (final) coat of paint on it. I am so happy with how it turned out. Overall was not a hard project and only took about 3 weeks and that was only working on it during the weekends! If anyone is thinking about refurbishing an old piece of furniture I would definitely do it. You will be so happy with the results. Time to start brainstorming my next project. 

Paint Color - Lowes Valspar Enchanted Green 
Hardware - Anthropologie - Zinnia Knobs in Palace Yellow
Inside Dresser - Lined with wrapping paper from the dollar store!

Using a power sander and sanding blocks we took the glossy finish off leaving it still smooth but dull enough for the primer. 

Tools used :
Power Sander
Sanding Blocks 180 & 220 Grit
Valspar Latex Primer
Elmer's Wood Filler Putty

Finished pictures to come next week! :)

                     

DIY - Furniture Refurbishing


I started a weekend project of refurbishing an old dresser. This was also my mom's dresser from when she was child and it has been passed onto me. I wanted to update the look of it and give it a vintage feeling at the same time. With the help of my boyfriend this has been a fun project and I am now contemplating on making this a side job!
