Thursday Doodle: Repainting Furniture

I'm trying my best to give hubby and I a master bedroom to relax in, and eliminate the buffet of leftovers that seems to describe it more fittingly. We had an old dresser that last summer I sanded and tried to restain - it looked TERRIBLE after all was said and done. It was also one of the hottest summers, I was almost 8 months pregnant, and I didn't feel like trying again. I decided to try again, but paint it, not stain. I'm soo happy with the results. I have some small touch ups that I'll try to tackle today, but for the most part I think it looks pretty good. I also got new hardware to spruce it up. The top drawers had big handles like the rest of the unit. I decided to change it up a bit and wood filled the existing holes from the old hardware and just put a single knob for the top drawers. I apologize though as I didn't take any before shots (some friends will remember this set of drawers though!)

Take a look and let me know what you think!
Thanks for stopping by.
