After many attempts at finding the perfect dresser that was either the perfect color or was able to be repainted to make it the perfect color, Matt stumbled upon this beauty on Craig's List. I was a little apprehensive at first because it seemed so large, clunky and I had a hard time seeing the vision of what it could be. Both Matt and my mom were incredibly positive in this dresser having the perfect potential in BB's room. Sooo, we contacted the seller and it became ours w/in 24 hours! After thinking about paint, new hardware and the best approach...Matt got to work! He started off by sanding the entire dresser down, I removed the hardware (yes, I felt like I wanted to help in some way) and then he began painting by priming and then a few layers of grey (which we paint matched at Lowe's with a piece from our crib) and finished up with a clear poly coat. He did an A-mazing job and the hard work shows below! The nursery is beginning to come together!
