Hello! I hope you all are having a great weekend! Today I finished up a dresser makeover I've been working on.
I had this cute little black dresser that I used for years in my craft studio but once I redid my studio I didn't need it anymore so it got put in line for a makeover.
Here is how it started out... not bad but just needed a little oomph to make it special.
I removed the knobs and painted the drawer fronts with chalkboard paint.
I removed the top drawer and made that space into a shelf where you could put a basket or folded items. I just used some wood glue and thin plywood to make the shelf.
At first I painted the inside with cake batter white but that just stood out like a sore thumb so I ended up painting it black too.
The inside of the drawers needed some work too.
Pretty new contact paper freshened them right up!
Even the drawer sides got a little something!
It is now down at my larger space at the antique mall. Some people were already taking measurements when I was there working today so I'm crossing my fingers!
What do you think?

I love the accents on the sides of the drawers!
Really cute! I hope it goes home with someone soon!
It is great to open the drawers and see a burst of color. A cool makeover.
