Remember how we inherited a dresser from my grandparents? Well, the Sunbean's birthday party {two months ago} was the perfect little push we needed to get it done. When we have parties, people see every square inch of our house. The way the floor plan is arranged, if anyone needs to use the bathroom or goes back to the kids' rooms, they're also going to see our room.
So we knew our bedroom would have a little traffic, and we wanted her lookin' good. As a reminder, here is the piece as we got it:
And here she is now:
Wowzers! Hard to believe it's the same piece. I love, love, love it. We got the hardware and legs {LOVE those legs!} at Lowe's. We sanded it down first, but didn't get too crazy with it. Then I used 2 coats of a bonding primer and 2 coats of latex paint in matte. I can't remember the name of the color, but it's slate gray. Pretty dark, but not quite black.
I just seriously can't believe it was so easy and so cheap to get something that looks almost exactly like really expensive dressers from West Elm or Pottery Barn. Winning!
