The UGLIEST Dresser no more.....

So, you remember this chic, right?

Remember her having her mirrors removed? One of which turned into this?

Well....finally.....I got more than 20 minutes to get at this project so we went gung-ho this weekend my neice and I. I love Maya, she is such a partner in crime. :) Thanks for all your attention to nooks and crannies Miss M!

Let's get ready to rumble..............

First we primed the entire piece with Zinsser primer to cut some of the 30+ years of storage stench and vacuumed the whole piece out. Wiped down the drawers and emptied some Febreeze into the area.....Gramma was obviously a smoker :)

Then we painstakingly added 3 coats of Rustoleum's Heritage White...to all those detailed crannies.

I mentioned my lovely neice painting all the crannies right?

After sufficient drying time (DIYers = 30 minutes), we sprayed the knobs with Aqua Painter's Touch spraypaint by Rustoleum to match this little roadside attraction I had finished a month ago or so... they will be in the same familyroom. The dresser will be the new TV armoire once I get the flat screen mouted above it....projects, projects, projects.

So after much toil, this is the final product. You never see furniture with this kind of detail anymore....and maybe that's a good thing (LOL) but we're proud of it. I may soften the knob colour with a bit of silver to tone it down a tad but she turned out lovely. Just a quick final spray of clearcoat so that I can wipe it down (which in my house WILL happen) and we were finished. Now onto getting that flat screen TV mounted and getting this pretty sista in her new room!

Finally, she is completed. I'm kinda crushin' on her.
