See the dresser in this picture?
It's been sitting here like this in my basement for a couple of years now.
It was given to us and I was so happy because I had dreams of refinishing it but it sat & sat & sat.
Here's a couple more pics of how hideous it looks.
It was in terrible condition but it's nothing that a little paint can't fix.
I found a really nice pale yellow paint in the mistint section at the hardware store for $5 and it was a paint and primer in one - perfect.
I also spray painted the handles silver, they really pop now!
Here is how it turned out!

Tracy,I totally agree with you!The repainted dresser is to die for!!! Like all of you,I too adore decorating-especially redoing furniture.It is such a wonderful feeling to take something that looks outdated/junky/ugly color, and turn it into a treasure. And really, all it takes is new paint, your imagination, and you can turn these cast-away items into one-of-a-kind awesome pieces!!Go to it,Tracy,and good luck!God bless you!!
