Craigslist dresser reveal

Two weeks ago I picked up this vintage dresser that I found on Craigslist. Would you believe it was only $30?


I started out by using a ton of Kilz primer so the old wood would not bleed through. Then it got two coats of Glidden's Antique White paint... finished off with some polyacrylic to protect it. Then I replaced the old metal knobs with adorable glass ones I purchased off eBay.

Here it is... I just love the details on it.

  5. It's beautiful. Be sure to keep those old knobs. They're gorgeous knobs and I'm sure you'll find a project you will want to use them on. You can spray paint them white or black too! Great project.

  8. Oh my goodness...this makes me so envious! I love that dresser and I can't believe it was only $30. Well, I can believe it, but that is an awesome deal. I love it painted white with the new knobs. Well done.

  9. Question about the Glidden Antique White color that you used: what undertones would you say that it has? I'm looking for a soft cream white without pink undertones. I would like to use it in my living room and still have my bright-white trim pop. Do you think this color would work? Thanks for your help!
