… I bit the bullet and we started painting. I think this might be just the jump start of color that I needed to get our bedroom DONE and AWESOME. More Monday. Have a great weekend!

    Beautiful color! Did you sand the drawer first before painting? I have a few items here that I want to re-do and I think you just inspired me too take that next step.
    Happy Weekend!

    No, I did no prep work on the dresser except a windex swipe… so far so good though. It took two thick coats to cover. Good luck with yours!!!

    woah, gorgeous!
    I was pondering painting the old dresser in our bedroom as well.. I was debating over charcoal grey or turquoise (or doing the drawers dark turquoise and the rest charcoal grey (a bit darker than yours)… I think Turquoise is winning.
    Are you changing the hardware, too?
    Love it!

    LOVE that color! I have a dresser that I’ve had for 10 years and was an ebay purchase then. it’s solid wood and I’ve been wanting to paint it but I kept thinking white. Now you’ve got me thinking otherwise!

    LOVE THE COLOR! ❤
    I’m curious, are you using a roller brush, paint brush or spray painting it? I can’t see any brush strokes on your dresser and it looks great. Just for future “good to know” ideas. =)
