I know I say this like it’s my mantra, OK maybe it is, but I am continually amazed at what a little paint can do!
Check out this before and after of a beautiful vintage dresser. This dresser was in excellent condition, so there was no need to discard it, but it was obviously quite out-dated. The gold hardware and slightly, too orange colour screamed 1980s. Grey is a hot and trendy colour right now so I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Sterling (which I love because it has a top coat build right in!)… gave it some new brushed silver hardware… and this piece of sturdy furniture, that was still completely useful, is brought into this century. It has now become an incredibly versatile piece that could be used as a gorgeous dresser, a sideboard with tons or storage or even an elegant TV stand. A little paint, a little time and a little vision can turn any outdated piece into a modern and stylish creation. Check out some more make over using Fusion Mineral Paint…

I love that you painted it grey. I have not used mineral paint yet, so I must try it! Thanks!
