Wow…
It has been forever since I have done a big revamp.
It felt good! I love seeing shanty turn chic :-)!!
I recently received this beautiful dresser from my in-laws. I loved everything about it! It has beautiful lines, WORKING drawers and perfect old hardware. She just needed a little revamp.
I did sand the top a bit just to smooth it out a bit. I didn’t prime it first but I did use Valspar’s new paint that is mixed with primer. I notice a huge difference in this paint and the original Valspar. It goes on so much thicker and seems very durable.
I removed all the drawers and removed the hardware. I then painted everything with 2 coats of my perfect off-white. It is a Valspar color called Ivory Lace. It matches my trim, and I LOVE it!
Finally, I sanded my edges up a bit and topped everything with 2 thin coats of Polycrylic. I prefer Polycrylic to Polyurethane because it doesn’t yellow over time and it’s not near as strong in smell so I don’t feel bad doing it inside!
Here are the results…
What do you think?? I thought the hardware was perfect so I didn’t change a thing there! Doesn’t a good revamp feel so good???
This dresser is going in my girls’ room. I have one bed totally finished, painted and put together. I bought all my wood for bed number 2 today and should have it finished in a day or so!! Whoooop!
Can’t wait to show you guys!!

LOVE it. That dresser reminds me of my moms old one from when I was a kid.
Fantastic makeover ! You have just inspired me to get into a piece I am waiting to do.
You did a great job, it turned out lovely! I really like the color.
it looks fabulous I would love to have the paint code too, you did an awesome job!!!!
That is gorgeous! Isn't it amazing how you can see all the lines so much better with it painted white. I love everything about it!
Love, Love, Love that paint color! I have a console table that needs a bit of updating. I would also like the paint code and would also like to know what you used to paint it (brush, roller, sponge roller)? [email protected]
It turned out gorgeous! I absolutely adore that color and would love the paint code! I'm planning on painting two pieces that I've been searching for the perfect white! My email is alschic07(at)yahoo(dot)com
Looks great! I just love creamy white painted furniture!
Looks great! I just love creamy, painted furniture.
Love the color! So pretty!
Love the lighter color, it shows off her beautiful detail so much better 🙂
Oh how I wish I had the patience. My husband did one dressor and two nightstands with spray paint and I love them, except we got to lazy to coat it so it shantys itself nicely. One day I'll do it again.
Creamy loveliness. Way better than its darker older sister 😉
Just beautiful! I would love to have the code to that paint color!! I bought a desk last yr. that looks identical to that! Would love to paint it!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
