New Dresser

   For a while I've been trying to decide if I should build a new dresser or just deal with whatever I can find...and I hadn't found anything big enough or that would work...but we also didn't have the money to build one...but then my neighbor Leaha called and asked if I was still looking for a dresser cuz she was gonna get rid of hers...SWEET...so for $15 I took it off her hands...



   But something needed to be done...after all I dont spend countless hours on Pinterest for nothing! ;)


   So I sanded it...which it says you dont have to do but...I wanted to...then I primed it with COVER STAIN...


    Then gave it a first coat...dont ask the color cuz I was trying to be a FRUGAL as I could...and used a few older paints I had and mixed them together...I was aiming for Teal!



   It's a little greener than I would NORMALLY have wanted...but it's bright and fun...and we aren't done yet! :D

   Then we added some stain...to make it look...OLD...kinda!



   And now it's home!!!! It is much bigger than I thought...which is perfect! I am VERY thankful for this dresser!


Before and After!!!!
