Its been forever!!!

Summer has been crazy and luckily I had time for a few projects.  One that I had been wanting to do for a while was give our dressers a MAKE OVER. They are really nice dressers, they are just old and out dated. We got them for free from my moms friend. We were a young newly wed couple who was happy to get anything we could. Now I'm especially glad she gave them to us because I LOVE THEM!

Here they are before. 

I almost forgot to take before pictures, so that's why the drawer is missing. I don't know if you can tell really well from this picture but they have some designs in the wood and because of those I decided refinishing was not an option. the handles were broken and boring also.

The finished product ...........................

 sorry this first one is kind of blurry, but I wanted to have the mirror in one. however please ignore me sick self in the mirror.

It's amazing to me how much brighter our room looks with this lighter color. I really love how they turned out. K so here's how I did it!

Step 1: SPRAY PAINT! I love spray paint. I used just regular white ( not the cheap white it doesn't work very well). I primed it all first with spray paint primer and then I used white spray paint. Don't forget to remove the knobs. Especially if your going to use them again.

Step 2:  I sanded the edges to make it look old and worn. Then I used wood stain and a wash cloth to give it the antique look. You put some stain on and then whip it off. I made sure to go in every direction with the stain so that there were no clear lines.

Step 3: Spray paint again. This time is clear though. This just gives finished look.

Step 4:   The knobs. I really wanted glass knobs to continue with the old look. (this was my splurge)
I got them at  Home Depot but they were a lil expensive! (cheaper than a new dresser though.

The total cost:
Dressers : free
Spray paint : $6
Knobs :   $60

Total:  $66
The result is worth every penny though! 
com back soon and I'll show you my  new wall layout and some fall decor ideas!
