Dresser #1

Well, I had hoped to come home from work tonight and post fabulous pictures of my finished dresser. Unfortunately...that's not the case. I guess it's all part of the learning process as I'm pretty new to painting/fixing up furniture. I didn't use the right tape or just did something completely wrong (or both), and it totally screwed up my lines. I spent HOURS taping this thing! UGH! So frustrating. So, pretty much I am just going to repaint the entire dresser. I can't really cover up the mistakes without touching up the white, and I doubt I could find an exact match. So I'm just redoing the whole thing. You can see the "before" pictures below though when it was still white and pink.

Oh well. Like I said, part of the learning process. It's 9pm, so it's too late to start on the dresser tonight, but I DID come home from Home Depot with a new can of paint, some paint brushes and more sand paper to get this redo started tomorrow! Hoping to be done by the middle of next week.

  1. I can't wait to see how it turns out! Gracious, I need to get going on some of my projects too. You're so good at taking action and getting things done. How do you do it, Amber?

    You need to come to my state and teach me. :-)
