Dresser Makeover

I have an old dresser in my creative studio which houses different craft supplies including my Silhouette machine. Once I chose my new color scheme I knew I would need to paint the dresser to match. 


Here's the before picture................




After sanding and priming, I gave her a coat of teal paint. I took the handles off and sprayed them black. But it still needed something else so I decided to cut out different inspirational type words out of black vinyl using my Silhouette machine and added those to each drawer. 


And now it looks like this............




Here's a couple of close ups of the drawers......



I lined the drawers with black and white patterned paper. I just put a light layer on Mod Podge in the drawer, laid the papers down, smoothed out any wrinkles, and added a light layer of Modge Podge so now the inside is pretty too.




I LOVE how it turned out!

  5. It turned out so gorgeous, I love that color! I actually just repainted all my kitchen chairs to an aqua blue just like yours. I really like what you did with the inside linings on the drawers, it looks great!
