And how pretty she is!?! I grabbed this dresser from a yard sale a week ago for $25. That was a little much for me, but since I had been getting so many things for free lately...it kinda evened out.
She first started out dark and dreary with a mirror atop of her. But the stand for the mirror was in bad shape all warped and cracked. The mirror itself was really scratched up.
...so I took off that piece and decided she will debut with out it!
I primed her up...took about 3 coats until I was happy.
And finished her off with 3 coats of Martha Stewarts "Tidewater." But shh don't tell Martha, I don't want to hurt her feelings, I had the color color matched and made into a BEHR sample...I love BEHR! Oh and just so you know I used a small foam roller....worked like a charm!
Spray painted the hardware with Krylon satin black...And Voila! I love her...so pretty!
I am so addicted to refinishing furniture now! There is more to came so stick around!
Oooh and I'm linking up to these Great parties!

Your dresser looks great. Are you going to keep it? I need to try the foam roller thing. I am looking for a tall but not wide chest for my entry way. If I find one, I will try the roller trick. I can't wait to see more of your furniture transfomations.
Love it...looks so great. I am really loving light blue furniture lately...so I love your pick of colors...and I won't tell Martha:)
Wow! That dresser looks amazing! Love it! :)

Nice project. I would love it if you would link this up in Modern Craftswoman Monday. Very well done. Rory
gorgeous... i love that you kept the hardware... it looks awesome, nikki.
so glad i found your blog! This is a beautiful redo! I can't believe you scored that for $25! Can't wait to check out the rest of your blog!! Your love affair with orange has intrigued me. I picked up a can of orange spray paint the other day 3 times and put it back. Maybe I need to go back and get it!!
