The dresser came with a brass like plate around the top part of the side, but we removed it to find it looking just like the bottom half. The one side had a dent in it, so it would not have looked so good if we kept it.
Rob sanded it down really well, and then painted it in Valspar's paint and primer in one in the color Lucy Blue. He also applied spray polyurethane. We spray painted the hardware with some white spray paint to save some money. When looking around for 5 1/2 inch hardware there were not a lot of options, and they were pretty pricey. Here is the final product:
Hope you like it. The entire project cost approximately $100. Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteOnly a true-blue junker would celebrate an anniversary at Lowe's and a thrift store! I was once taken to a new junk yard for my birthday and was absolutely thrilled. Love that Lucy blue paint and the decision to paint the pulls was spot-on! Came over from Gunny Sack.

Gorgeous! I adore the color!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color you painted that dresser! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the color you used on that piece. Pinned it!
ReplyDeleteI have this dresser!!! I bought a whole bedroom set of it when we bought our first house. It was painted by the manufacturer and was UGLY. It was green with speckles all over it! I know every curve of those detailed legs from all the stripping and sanding and staining and sanding and sealing! Yours looks great! I swapped out the hardware and just plugged the old holes, because you are right, not too many options! But you cannot tell at all! I'm so excited to see what you did with your piece! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love that lucy blue paint color! Was it a spray paint as well?
