Pinterest Sunday! How to Paint Furniture-Dresser


The dresser was purchased from my local Good Will for $19.99
The Plan is to repaint this in a vintage "hip" color so I can replace an old 
Ikea desk in my craft studio with this dresser.

Love the details!



Remove the hardware.



I gently sanded the dresser down, just enough to remove the lacquer shine only! 
Do not go crazy on this process because you do not have to scratch it up!



I used Zinsser Cover Stain Primer/Sealer to prime the entire dresser.  I prefer the paint over the spray paint personally, but if it is a small project, the spray paint may be the more  affordable choice.


Looking Good!
Now time to pick the paint....

AQUA BLUE?


APPLE GREEN?


WATER MELON PINK???





YEP!!!


Keep Painting....I painted this with 2 coats.  This process does require a little patience, cause you want to give each coat at least 24 hours to dry!

 All done!  
I used paint mixed from Walmart in a satin sheen.
Adding a little more modern touch to my piece I  updated the drawers new some new silver knobs.
Now its ready to store all my fabric and office supplies!



Pink-a-lious!
The color turned out exactly how I imagined and dresser 
fits in perfectly into my vintage style craft studio.
