Dresser Revival

So we have this wall...

pretty huh? ;)

Anyway,

we have been trying to find the perfect piece

to put here!

So this is what we found...

Only $10!

Wait, you don't like it??! Pssh!

It's totally ugly??! How rude!!

Okay, I agree ;)

BUT, it has potential, right?!!

So I had a vision of something like this...

Are seeing what I'm seeing?!!!

Get the picture? :)

But first,

we have to do the hard work!

So I put my hubby on that straight away ;)

sanding and sanding

and then some playing with the sand!

Our little Foreman {Lucy} making sure the job is getting done ;)

back to more sanding!

And finally ready to paint :)

Thanks babe!!

So I didn't get any pics of me painting it, 

because I am lame

and got caught up in the moment,

trying to figure out how I was going to create this vision!

But I really did it all myself,

my hubby gave suggestions though :)

I started by spray painting the whole thing

COLONIAL RED

and then with BEHR paint 

in STEALTH JET

I brushed it on in small sections, 

wiping it with a dry rag back and forth

until it looked the way I wanted! 

{My biggest lesson was you want to just go in one direction!!}

Introducing...  

my NEW {old} REVIVED dresser!!!

There are a couple of things left to do,

but I just had to share it with you 90% done because

I am very EXCITED and PROUD of my very first furniture painting project!

I think I matched my vision and very HAPPY with the results!!

Reviving and revamping furniture 

might be something to add to my growing list of hobbies ;)

Revived,
