I've been in the market for a dresser for a while now for the girls' room. I found this beauty on kijiji. It also came with a nightstand and twin bookcase headboard (we put it in the basement for now, since Alyse is in a crib still).
Here's the beaut! The previous owners had already refinished this dresser and it's signed by a little girl back in 2002.
We started out by sanding it down and getting as much of the pink off as possible. Shane then gave it a couple of coats of white paint and we let it dry overnight. The next day, I sanded them down again. Shane told me to "sand the crap out of them". He wasn't paying attention, though, and apparently I sanded them a bit too much. I'll tell ya, they were super smooth, though! While he was out in the garage giving them a couple more coats of white, I was inside doing this:
I cut fabric to size with an overlap of about 2 inches. Slapped on some Mod Podge and layed the fabric onto the drawer front. Once it was all tucked and looking pretty, I poured some over top and tried to cover it all to give it a good finish.The mod podge was a bit hard to work with with the tiny brush I was using, so I ended up just using my hands. It was pretty messy, but it did the trick!
Here are the finished products. I can't wait to get them into the room!
I really want to pretend that I was doing this project for myself and stick these in my room! :) I'm in love!
