Hello everyone, happy Friday 🙂
When you see the snow in today’s pictures, don’t worry it’s not already snowing here –this is just another long overdue post on a flip that I completed back in January!

I found this tall dresser on Marketplace, and when Anthony got it home for me I realized that one of the drawer faces was broken.
Fortunately, since the drawers were dovetailed it was fairly simple to fix with wood glue and clamps so I wasn’t too worried about that.
I started by giving everything a good clean and then began sanding. I sanded the dresser top, top drawers and bottom trim all the way down to the bare wood.
I scuff sanded the areas that would be painted, then wiped everything down and applied a coat of primer.
I decided to attached some pine trim to the bottom drawers for character.
Next I applied a light gray paint, but once it was dried I realized that I hated it! So I rinsed out my paint sprayer and applied a white instead. But that didn’t feel right either. Finally, I chose the color Umber by Dixie Bell which is a rick dark brown.
I removed all of the tape and then stained the wood portions.
I sealed everything with two coats of polyacrylic, then finished up by adding new hardware and drawer paper.
Usually I prefer lighter paint colors, but every now and then a darker color just feels more right for the piece!
This also came with a matching sister that I’ll be sharing with you next!
PIN FOR LATER!
