This week's project was to refurb the other old dresser we scored from friends to get it out of the garage. The "before" picture of it is in my "A Toy Box for Baby Bear" post. I decided to turn it into a night stand. We were going for a shabby chic/antique feel for it. Much like the toy box project, we dismantled it and sanded the laminate off of the dresser, them wiped it down to remove any sawdust. Then we spray painted the pieces with white paint. I found some decorative wooden cutouts at Lowe's for about $5 for a package of two and painted those a greyish blue. We drilled holes in the middle of the pieces for a screw hole to attach the glass knobs to the drawer front. I also found some fabric in almost the same pattern and shade of blue as the decorative pieces and used it to line the bottom of the drawers since they were pretty worn out. With a major assist from the hubs on this project, I now have a cool piece of girly furniture in our otherwise masculine bedroom!
