I can't believe it's been three years since I painted my first dresser, using DIY Chalk Paint. Three years and not only do we still have this dresser, it is one of the most used pieces in our home. See back then, I had no idea how much I would love taking something ugly, and unloved, and turning it into something beautiful for our home. At the time, we just needed a dresser for our bedroom and didn't have a lot to invest in it.
And today I still use the same DIY Chalk Paint method on most everything I paint. It's proven to be a great paint medium (and a ton cheaper than store bought chalk paint). It has never failed.
OK, so here is a the original BEFORE....
Not bad.....if you like that sort of thing. It wasn't MY sort of thing. But the details are so beautiful. To be honest, I haven't come across a dresser like this since. Not for the price anyways.
Like I said, we needed something extra for our bedroom. When my husband and I were first dating and moved in together, we needed more storage. We have since purchased our own home but we still have this dresser.
Here is the AFTER in our old apartment (bad lighting and decor.)...
And the AFTER AFTER in our own home, three years later. No touch-ups have been done and it still looks great :) Maybe better.
Stay tuned for another reveal on our master bedroom makeover.....on a budget of course!
