It seems this dresser has served as the bane of my existence for the last three months. My mama purchased this dresser (decrepit and in dire need of some love) at a yard sale for $15.00. It had such great lines and a solid shape that I knew I had to take the time to give it some lovin’. Little did I know that it would become a three-month process!

Original Dresser and Mirror

First, I took out all the drawers and took off their hardware (charming white porcelain drawer pulls with flowers on them…yuck). I then taped over the edges because I knew I wanted those to be a different color.

Dresser Drawer with Original Hardware

I spray painted the drawers bright red (paint by Valspar, duh). The edges were trimmed in black (a pint of Valspar’s Tuxedo Jacket…love the name!) and I purchased new silver hardware for $2.47 each (6 total).

Dresser Drawer Painted and Sans Hardware

Painting the edges and the nooks and crannies of the dresser took the most amount of time. I did the opposite color layout on the mirror that went with it.

Voila! The finished product.

I think it turned out really well! Definitely jazzy and sassy. All that hard work and time was well worth it for this masterpiece!
