This is what it looked like before:
Sorry for the pictures! I started this project at night, so the lighting was awful!
I simply took off the hardware and spray painted it black. Then, I used Pure White ASCP to paint the dresser and drawers. Working with the chalk paint was great, but I definitely have a TON to learn about it! Perhaps the biggest lesson I learned was that it's not really a great idea to paint a piece of furniture when you're 37 weeks pregnant and struggling with carpel tunnel! I'll be writing up my own little 'review' of ASCP in a later post, sometime next week. But, for now, I just wanted to share with you this finished project.

I love how this turned out! It's quite a transformation! Mason's room is so cute!! I'll be interested to hear your review of the chalk paint.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great job for your first time on a big project. I love ASCP!! Saw you on MMS

The dresser turned out so pretty! I like that you painted the hardware too...it looks so much better! I've been thinking about painting my dresser...you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteLovely=) And I love the repurposed hardware, too. I still haven't given in and bought any AS just because of the price so I've been using my own homemade version which works pretty well, but I can't wait for your review of the real stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! You did such a good job! And I especially love the little guy who is privileged to use the dresser......missing him and his sisters, and his mom and dad, too!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, Lauren! Can't wait to see the rest of the nursery. =)
ReplyDeleteLauren - I'm interested in reading your review of the paint. I need to paint my childhood desk (which used to be my Dad's!) for Micah one of these days!
ReplyDeleteThat really looks great! You did an excellent job!
