Dresser Before and After

[sassafrass]

I doubt anyone remembers but I picked up an awesome dresser for pretty cheap ($70) at a local antique shop. It was heavily stained dark brown. Here's the before and after. The after is a HORRIBLE, out of focus shot but I still wanted to post

All in all, it was pretty easy and cheap to redo. I got some faux crystal knobs on Ebay for about 90 cents each (and free shipping)!

It's painted BM Lemon Grass.

Right now, it's just going to go in my 3rd bedroom/computer room. The room is pretty much empty except for an old secretary that I use as a computer desk and now this.

I like it! What finish paint did you use?

It's a semi gloss finish.

This is who I used. they ship from china and are fairly small but they serve my purpose. They're acrylic and I did have to buy new screws because the ones they came with were too short.

Yes. It's BM Lemon Grass which is a very pale yellow.
