I got this dresser many, many months ago (probably a year) from a sweet friend's mom. I went to pick it up and it sat in our garage at our other house for months and then made the move with us!
Overall it was in good shape. The top boards were loose and the drawers needed some more support so they would slide in & out better. So to begin with I just basically took it apart.
I had already decided that I wanted to paint the body of it antique white and the top black...so I started with one coat of paint on the body and the drawers.
I love all the lines on the drawers...perfect for distressing!! Luckily Trey & I had picked up some wooden keyhole covers that worked PERFECTLY on these drawers. We had this piece in mind when we found them at an antique store.
I just painted them black and glued them on with Gorilla Glue. Then I painted the top black and called in Mr. Whitley to nail the top pieces back together and I have to give him full credit for working on the drawers, too.
I couldn't wait to use my new knobs that I found for a HUGE bargain at Ross.
I love the marble inlay on the top.
AND here is the finished piece. Entry way, end of the hall, kitchen - this is a beautiful piece for any room.
Hope you like it! Leave me a comment & let me know what you think:)
