Steph had a lot of projects she wanted to get done while we were home this last trip. One of those "projects" included painting our existing dressers black to match our black slay bed. She wanted to make our furniture look like they belonged together instead of just a few random pieces. She didn't want to spend money on new dressers when the ones we had were in really good shape. It didn't make much sense to give away good furniture when the only problem was that they didn't match. To Home Depot we went for $20 worth of primer, paint, rollers and gloves. We went home and Steph started immediately on her new project within no time the 2 dressers looked completely different. She primed and painted the frame of both dressers first and then slowly worked on the draws. Toward the end of the project however, she ran out of steam. She still has 2 draws on both dressers to finish but that will have to wait until we get home again. We both were impressed with how they turned out even with the 4 unfinished draws they look fantastic and have really changed the look of the room.
Here is the large dresser before she painted it.
Primed...
First coat of black paint...
Here is the semi-final product, as you can see Steph still has 2 draws left to paint and in this picture she still has not put the cabinet door on or the hardware. She is having a
hard time finding knobs and draw pulls that she likes so that might take a while for her to complete the dresser. It looks great and will look fantastic once its finished.
Here is the other dresser that she painted. She forgot to take a before picture but here are the pictures from when she was painting.
Primed..
First coat of paint....
Almost done still need to paint those last 2 draws and touch up but it looks great so far!
