DIY Dresser Re-do

You know what gets me excited? A chance to re-do some furniture!

I get that little tingly feeling inside and its hard to control.

I found this dresser on Kijiji along with 2 nightstands, a mirror, a bed frame and another taller dresser for $150. They are in immaculate shape. They were ok looking, but I bought them with the intention to do something magical....! 

So I sanded and painted, and painted some more and was quickly thrown into a mad fuss about getting it how I liked it.  I seriously did a primer coat plus 4 coats on this guy. He was a tough one to cover.

I spray painted the pulls silver - it was really the only thing I could do. I could not for the life of me find a size to match the small ones... but that's ok, I actually really like them how they are.

First, I used this as a buffet in my dining room... and recently moved it to hold my ancient TV. Gotta love the versatility! Hopefully with the money I saved on this I can replace the tube... When you can barely lift one of your electronic pieces these days, you know its time to replace :).

So the moral of the story is -- look for potential in the furniture you look at! Think of every possibility and you will save a lot of bucks!
