Do you ever get that urge to give your house a total makeover? I do, but the reality is that I love most of what I own. I have always been very choosy when purchasing furniture, and as a result, I have a few items of furniture that I would never part with, but I so wish that they had a fresher look that fits better with my personality now.
In the past, I have done a couple of projects to customize store-bought furniture. I also have practiced refinishing wood furniture; learn how to do that here.
So when it came to the tired old dresser in my bedroom, which I love, I got to wondering whether I couldn’t perhaps simply customize it into a new look that I enjoy.
I watched a number of videos on YouTube, but here is the one I fell in love with.

While the original wood finish on this dresser looked great, I just swooned when I saw the white with that pale minty green. Those two colors are lovely together and have a beautiful old-fashioned charm to them, like something out of the Victorian era. I went out and bought those exact same paint colors (or as close as I could manage), and am going to start on my own dresser this weekend. I can’t wait to complete the project. My beloved old dresser can enjoy some new life, and it will finally fit in with my newer décor! Check out the step-by-step photo instructions here.
