A Dresser in Shambles

Transforming an ordinary, mission-style dresser into a beautiful (and now functional) piece of furniture was fun! It was in pieces and littered with watermarks and uneven stain patterns throughout so I decided to paint it-- I used Valspar's shade of Hotel Vanilla. The square knobs came from Target.

Sanding, priming and painting the drawers was a process that took about two days. I used a 120 grit sand paper on all the drawers to remove the sheen, and then used a stain blocking primer to seal the grain and cover up any unevenness. I then spray painted the front while protecting from overspray using a piece of cardboard.
