Remember the desk I painted for Hannah in the fall? Well, here is her completed matching dresser.
I first brought it home in November, I think, and gave it a good sanding. At this point, it was all in pieces, because my father-in-law had taken it apart in preparation for regluing it. It was fairly rickety to start out with. He didn't end up regluing it until just before Christmas. So, last week I brought it home and got to work.
Here it is after sanding and regluing. It's pretty sturdy now!
I painted it in the same manner as I did her desk. I wasn't thinking I would paint the inside of the drawers on this one, because they were in decent shape, but then Hannah asked me if I would. And honestly, I think it just brings the whole dresser up a notch from ordinary to perfect for a young teenage girly-girl.
I used Behr's Premium Plus Paint and Primer in one in a semi-gloss tinted with Glidden's Onyx black. That shade of black is black, but if you are looking for a black-black it's maybe not the shade you want to go with. I wish I could tell you the shade of pink, but it was a mistint. The handles were painted with Rustoleum's "Dark Steel" spray paint. It's lovely paint and goes on like a dream.
And to give you a bit of a teaser, here's a sneak peak of a desk that I started just before Christmas. I still have to put the finishing touches on it. Hopefully soon I will be able to show it to you! I love how it's turning out.

It's gorgeous just like the desk - I live the pop of pink.
ReplyDeleteI think it's too late and I'm too tired to be looking at posts on my iPhone as I saw the beautiful black dresser and scrolled down and for a minute I thought "wow that dresser looked so good black don't tell me she painted it white and distressed it" as I looked at the before picture. Uh duh!
You are right, the pink does take it up a notch! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice sharing. There some different furniture designs are available at Online Furniture Store or a Furniture Store to give a new style look to your home.
ReplyDeleteI think I might paint the inside part of the drawer in my kitchen. When my husband leaves the drawer open I can see a pop of color instead of the wood. Great idea! I am hosting my very first link party. I would love it if you could link up.

ReplyDeletehow did you paint the drawers inside and out and not have issues with the drawers sticking? I love the pop of color! just worried they would stick after painting them.

ReplyDeleteHi- I'm painting a dresser black (just like the one you did!) and I wanted to paint the drawers magenta. Is that ok to do inside the drawers??? Will it effect the clothing? I hope you can help me out! Your piece is our inspiration piece! Thank you
