Amazing Dresser Transformation

This to me is one of the most incredible transformation I have done.  I almost did not buy this piece  because it was sitting on the floor , no base, no legs, and the paint this poor thin had...oh my...well, I took the challenge.  I stripped this piece completely, top, body, drawers, the entire piece became raw wood.  I decided to paint it a almost white with just a hint of grey color, custom made.  I took my sample to HD and decided on Behr's paint and primer with stain block in semi-gloss, the top was sanded with 100 to 2500 grit for a mirror like finish.  I also water sanded it for that extra smooth feel.  I decided to use Dark Walnut stain from Minwax.

This dresser has two side doors that when open reveal beautiful wood drawers, those I also stained them like the top.  It is a very long piece, but I think is beautiful.

Here is the before.....

  8. I have two similar mid century dressers in the blonde look. I have been struggling on what to do with them to update them because they are still very functional. This is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.
