This dresser is one of the first pieces I bought to refresh.
I found it on CraigsList and thought I had won the lottery. When I took out the 1st drawer to begin to load into my truck, it fell apart! The sweet girl selling it to me knocked off another $20 bucks from embarrassment. I re-glued the dovetails once I got it all home, those drawers work just fine now.
Elbow grease is my middle name.
It has sat in my studio patiently waiting since March.
Dresser Before
My New Dresser Now
I used Behr Paint & Primer (which I LOVE) in Suede Grey.
Then added a light layer of black glaze over that.
Finished with Gloss Rub On Poly.
I adore this dresser.
I am just waiting for it to cure 100%. The nice guy at the Ben Moore store once told me it takes at least 2 weeks for a gloss finish to dry completely.
After a lot of experience of my own, I believe him :-)
happy trails y'all !
