The minute I saw this dresser I knew I wanted it! I love the legs and the casters.
There was some veneer missing so I filled it with wood filler. It looked great, until I painted and I could see every flaw. The bottom drawer had ripples in it, which I couldn't see until I painted it. In the end, I had to remove the veneer which I will do a how-to post on soon.
The color changes depending on the light.
The paint color is called Rose Dust, but I think it has hues of coral, and dark red. (It was actually an "opps" paint so this color may not true to the color swatch).
Gorgeous!!
The top was in good condition so I kept it natural and I lightly distressed the corners of the dresser and added two coats of wax. I also kept the original pulls.
I love this dresser! Do you agree?

ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura!
DeleteGorgeous dresser Helen and such a pretty color!! It does show a little coral through on my screen, it's quite unique!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you love it even more after all that hard work removing veneer!!
Well done!!
Thank you Courtney! I've been wanting to paint something coral for a while now and I got kinda lucky with it. Months ago my husband brought home a gallon of "oops" paint from Lowe's for $5 and I wasn't a fan but now I am a super fan! Removing the veneer was easier than I expected which is always a plus. Thanks again!

DeleteVery very pretty! love the color!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deny, I really love the way the color and dresser turned out. My husband actually brought the paint home months ago because it was $5 in the "oops" section. I didn't like the color at first but then I came to my senses!
DeleteI agree. GORGEOUS. Great makeover.

I love it also! Was the paint a flat or a satin?
ReplyDeleteIt was a satin. I rarely use flat because it isn't as easy to clean.
