Our dressers are FINALLY finished!

 This is the only dresser I got a "before" picture of. Just picture the tall dresser the exact same way.  =)

 Hardware before being painted.

 All sanded!


 Primed with KILZ, love that stuff.

 First coat of "Heirloom White" spray paint. (I used 17 cans of spray paint in case you were wondering. Yes, 17!)

 All fnished and back in it's place.




 I hate to take a picture of our bed because I love it so much.

 Here is the tall dresser all finished.


I love all of the beautiful detail on the dressers, they look so antique now. I also decided to keep the original hardware and paint it because I couldn't find new hardware that looked vintage enough for my taste. I really like how they turned out but they were defenitely a bigger project then I had anticipated, I'm R E A L L Y glad that they're done. PHEW! A shout out to Judy and Judd for giving us these dressers when we were married, they are really neat pieces of furniture and I have a feeling they'll be hanging with us for at least another 6 years.  =)
