The painted Dresser
February 12, 2013 by admin • 36 Comments
Recently I decided the guest bedroom needed some fluffing and got busy painting a small vintage dresser that had been stored in the closet for a while. I used left-over paint from a previous project and did my best to achieve the look that says: They still love me, after all these years!
The oak dresser has several coats of paint on it, the latest color is “City Storm” by Valspar. As you can tell I distressed it quite a bit after the painting process so that the previous color shows through.
It still has the original hardware (hanging on by a thread, literally) which I painted black and used some sandpaper to reveal some of the original color around the edges.
Here is just a sneak-peak of what I’ve been working on…..
Can I just say, at this rate it will take me forever to finish this room…ha! Stay tuned!!
So glad you stopped by….love to hear from you!

Beautiful job Moni! I love it!!
That little dresser has looked beautiful with every color you’ve painted it. This one is particularly gorgeous. Is that new bedding I see?

That looks great!
The dresser is beautiful Moni! I love what you did with the knobs. For some reason, I never think to paint and distress hardware, but yours looks awesome. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

Wonderful job of painting and distressing the dresser! I’m sure the room will come together in it’s own good time.
It looks awesome / great job!
I love the dresser! It looks just beautiful! I have a dresser I haven’t quite figured out what to do to yet…you have inspired me:) Thank you for sharing! I am visiting from the Savvy Southern Style link party.
Moni, This is a beautifully painted and distressed! The color is soft and muted and perfect! I love the height for next to a bed.
I’m glad I am not the only one who take forever to finish a project… slow and steady wins the race!

I have a small dresser I’ve been planning on working on. Isn’t it wonderful when you’re finished?
Popped over from Under the Table & Dreaming…but I didn’t see that you posted a link to it here.

The color combo on this dresser is beautiful! I love what you have done.
Came over from Met Monday! That is the perfect color and the way you distressed it gives the piece a soft well loved look~
