Here is the $20 dresser I bought from facebook, sanded and all ready for paint. I sprayed one coat of Rustoleum grey primer, then 2 coats of Rustoleum Granite. It was a lot simpler then I had anticipated but I do not recommend spray painting on a breezy day.
And here is the final product. It is a little more blue than I was looking for. I got my inspiration from
here, which looked like a dark grey color. I even bought the exact same spray paint, brand, color, but mine looks blue. I also bought drawer pulls today but they aren't the right size. I guess using a 3 hole puncher that has a ruler on the side will hamper your measuring abilities. I also might buy a clear coat so the dresser has a shiny finish but I am still undecided. Over all it has been a pretty cheap dresser. The spray paint cost $15 for both bottles and I spent $40 on drawer pulls but they are going to be returned so I might find something cheaper.
This is the
Prairie Schooler 2011 Santa. I am making him into a Christmas tree ornament. I am not sure how to finish him maybe a burlap bow and a button or something. Ideas are welcome.
