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!!

Just found your blog the other day – love it! I would love to have the color code and how you painted it – sprayer, brush, roller?
Adorable! Cannot believe I never stumbled across your blog before! Love it!

First time to your blog…I'm hooked! I love repurposing furniture, and now I'm super inspired to paint some antique dressers I've been contemplating doing something with. What's your preferred method for the dresser: brush, roll, or spray?
I've done brush on the past few, thinking about trying a new approach. Abbylouder@aol.com
You did a wonderful job! The dresser looks just beautiful. I have a desk I want to redo but am not sure how to paint it. How did you apply the paint and polycrylic? Paint brush, roller, sprayer? Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That looks amazing. Love the color and the shantying you did on it!
Love the dresser! I'm in the middle of a furniture painting dilemma at my house. Do you spray, roll, or brush your paint on?
