We needed a small dresser or chest of some sort. But it had to be decent, not huge, and cheap. After searching Craigslist for a couple weeks and a few thrift stores, I finally found one at Goodwill for $11 total. Score! Solid wood, clean lines, classic look, no funky paint and extra bonus: I could get it in and out of the back of the van without my husband's help!
As you can see, there was some minor wear and tear....And some {interesting} handles. (I thought they were ugly).
So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought two great handles off ebay for about a buck seventy. I grabbed some touch up paint, a drill, ruler, etc.... I have never used a drill before, it was so fun!
And the final result....
DOn't you think it looks Pottery Barn-esque?!
And another little number I picked up at the Dollar Tree...
And painted white.

Those look great. You really have such an eye for design.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome. I'd like to try something like that! Was there a certain kind of paint you used? I found this post on a link-up party. Renea
ReplyDeleteI just used what I had: black glossy acrylic paint to touch up the dresser, white Krylon spray paint for the bird followed by several coats of white glossy acrylic paint. I was delighted that the black paint blended in perfectly with the existing paint. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I featured it today at my Delightfully Inspiring Thursday Party. Feel free to stop by and grab a button, if you'd like.
