I had this old IKEA dresser in Hudson's closet. It was ugly, and we really just used it as a place to put his shoes and hats. I had the idea to change it up a bit. How hard could it be to spray paint a dresser and put new hardware on it... right? Well, spray painting crappy IKEA particle board is not exactly easy.
Here's what I started with.... boring!
Tape... It's part of every paint job
Naked Dresser
Sand the heck out of it
First coat of paint
It needed about 3 coats
Because I didn't sand it well enough...
Note: Sand more than you think you need to, it will save you a LOT of time and another trip to Hobby Lobby for more spray paint.
Oops a little paint got under the tape
No worries, a little nail polish removal will take care of that problem.
Red scrapbook paper for the front of the drawers
It took 4 of these puppies!
I'm in LOVE with the knobs!
Seriously so cute!
Kick the kiddo out of the project
Ta Da!
I have no idea why the red looks so pink in this picture.
