Dresser DIY Makeover

 CONCORD GRAPE!                                                                          
A dresser gets a new look.  Even though my days are long and my time is limited, I always enjoy the moments and the time that I do have to work in my shop.

After priming the dresser and drawers (two coats) I left it to dry completely and usually I am so impatient. Today I decided to head back to the shop (taking my son along to help) we both sanded the dresser and drawers for a smooth finish. We setup like an assembly line, he sanded I inspected, cleaned off the excess dust and painted on one coat of Concord Grape!. We  continued this until all five drawers had one coat of paint. Two hours, not too bad, now I have a personal assistant for the next projects.

Tomorrow we are heading back to the shop to apply another coat and hopefully we can get to apply two. The dresser will be my main focus while my son (J.T) sands a chair that is ready for paint. So stay tuned for my before & after.

Here are a few photos of our progress:

I love this color, how about you? by Glidden Paints

I mentioned to my client, this piece would look gorgeous with Glass knobs for sure.

Preping is so not the fun part, I want to get right to it. But, i know that you prime first to get that 

fabulous smooth look we all love! 

I love using sanding blocks, and when they are no longer useful, I wrap it with a sheet of sanding paper!

Tip: Sanding blocks keep your fingers from getting scratched.

A sneak peek! first coat, now for the second coat tomorrow and hopefully I am able to

 paint on the final coat depends on how it looks! 

What do you think so far? do you like this shade of Purple? 

I think its will look fabulous a High Gloss finish would look fabulous.

                                                                               

                      I love the Purple, and the look so far. This is showing with a second coat already added.

                                                                                 

First coat was applied lightly, then sanded second coat was added and it turned out great.

What do you think so far?

I am really enjoying this project, i think Glass Knobs for sure,
