White Chest of Drawers

Hello Everyone!  Long time no post huh????  We bought a house last month and I have been a busy little bee.  My canvas went from furniture to walls:)  We are at a stand still until we can get the electrician out to fix a few things, so I got some time to paint a couple of pieces. 


I found 3 gorgeous pieces at a local thrift shop.  All three of them were solid wood and in very good shape.  They just needed some updating. 


Here is the first dresser before I got ahold of it.




I always say that I'm not going to paint with white anymore, but I always go back.  White furniture is my favorite.  Even though it takes a lot more time and effort, the outcome is so worth it.

I wanted a dark contrast with the white, so I used grey primer and then did a coat of black paint.

Here is the after!

















I have another dresser with a mirror and the twin bed that matches this one.  I think I am going to sell them as a set.  Couldn't you just see these in a little girl's room???

XOXO
Wendy
