I started the boys room this week. When I was little I had these two dressers. They were bought sometime in the 70's, and my plan was to repaint them and sell them on craigslist...they were a little "sad", and a whole lot outdated...!! Check out the fabulous hardware....
Makes me laugh...
Well, I decided to change my plans...and refinish them for my boys. I have had them since I can remember...in fact they were probably one of my sisters' before they were mine...!! So I wasn't really ready to part with them....
I am super excited about the finished product!! I didn't take a before picture of the small one, but it looked just as "nice" as it's sibling below!!! (Ignore the mess...)
BEFORE
AFTER!!!
I have to say that this picture doesn't do it justice. I painted it red, but then took a black stain and rubbed it in to give it a darker wood grain texture....it looks so neat in person...i wish the picture would have shown it!!! Oh well, I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor!!!

Oooh, I likey! Wow, maybe I need to do that with a couple of my old dressers for the guest room!
Looks great. I am amazed at how you made six drawers turn into 4 drawers also.
Melissa...the six drawer dresser is the same as the four drawer one...only with six drawers...lol!! I just forgot to take a picture of the four drawer dresser, so I was just giving a visual image of the transformation...
Aahhh, there's nothing like a successful home improvement project to make your day. Looks awesome!
It's beautiful! Great transformation and now I kinda want to change my dressers, whose handles look like the ones in the before picture. Puke.
:)
You are ever so clever. I love the new look, but I'm not sure why you didn't keep the old hardware for your sons.... heheheh
I especially love the red dresser. It's gorg!
