New dresser for my dd, got creative! :)

Attachment 283268My daughters dresser was in bad shape, I didn't really have the money to get her a brand new one at the moment either so I checked out kijiji. I found a prefect solid wood dresser for free, but it was outdated and quite dark for my little one. I went to Home Depot and found a purple mistint can of paint for $1! Done!!

I spent one day sanding, painting and 'distressing' it to suit my taste (I had the white paint already). I think it came out looking amazing, and it only costed me $1 and a day of my weekend. Attached are the before and after pics, I am so in love with it and more importantly so is she! :)


I have have been working on its little bookshelf today, I plan on selling this one and seeing how that goes. :)

so cute! I've saved hundreds of these on pinterest with the idea to do it! Love the inspiration :)

Beautiful!

I love it when new life gets breathed into something old.

Thank you all for the nice comments!! I think I may have to 'spruce up' more of my furniture now. ;)

Beautiful!!! You did a lovely job, Hon!!

Wow superb job. If only the original owner could see it now. No take backs tho, this treasure for a buck was final sale. Perhaps your years of watching Debbie Travis have finally paid off. Oh yeah lucky kid too. Her mom rocks!!!!

A can of paint.....One dollar
