Thrift Store Dresser Redo

Last week we had a date day/night for our anniversary. We did some normal things like go to the spa and dinner.  But, we also headed to Lowe's and the local thrift stores to find a new project.  We went to the local place called The Spare Room where all the proceeds benefit a home for recovering addicts.  It's a great place, and it's where we found our previous dresser redo.  We picked it up for $75, and thought it was a good deal and the money goes to a wonderful cause.


 The dresser came with a brass like plate around the top part of the side, but we removed it to find it looking just like the bottom half. The one side had a dent in it, so it would not have looked so good if we kept it.

Rob sanded it down really well, and then painted it in Valspar's paint and primer in one in the color Lucy Blue.  He also applied spray polyurethane.   We spray painted the hardware with some white spray paint to save some money. When looking around for 5 1/2 inch hardware there were not a lot of options, and they were pretty pricey.  Here is the final product:



Hope you like it. The entire project cost approximately $100.  Thanks for stopping by!
