Description

I saw this dresser on the side of the road just waiting for the trash man, so I decided to take it home and fix it up since I have been needing a dresser for my side of the bed.

Instructions

1. 

   First find a unsuspecting victim...

2. 

   Then use a sander to remove all the old paint and smooth any imperfections.

3. 

   Use primer to coat the entire surface. I used spray paint primer because I think it's easier and a whole lot quicker than a brush.

4. 

   I used some leftover red paint I had to paint this dresser my favorite color. :)

5. 

   I liked the size of the previous pull knobs, but they had been chewed on by a dog so I replaced them with handmade hand-painted knobs from India that I got at World Market.
