Finished the dresser I picked up a week or so ago. Original pics are here.
The pulls are original, but I think it needs new ones. I'm thinking of getting wood ones and just painting them red.
So pretty.
Thing 1 I learned - I am a messy painter. I already knew this (see bathroom), but for some reason I thought it was just from laziness/wanting to be done. Nope. I'm just really bad at painting.
Smudge, smudge.

Cleaned up.
Left side - how I used to store my folded clothes. Right side - the future!
Lesson 3 - Spray gloss sucks. You can see how spotty it is. That was after three coats.
Embarassed no more!
The shelf was repurposed, finally getting my DVDs/Wii games out of a box. And now I can plug a light into the outlet controlled by the light switch And it blocks my window with needing a blind. Woot.
Works much better holding DVDs than clothes.
The dresser is being ironic about seashells.
"shell"
