Small Dresser Rehab
From teddy bears to a
different kind of teddy.... Grrrr...
Here's the before,
Cute with lots of potential...
I lightly sanded each
drawer with an orbital sander.
Bye, bye teddies.
Then I primed, using Zinsser Bin.
It seals in any odors or stains.
Primin'...
Primin'...
and more priming!
Now for the paint.
I used Valspar's "Cream in my Coffee".
I love this color, it's a vintage off-white with a hint of pink undertones.
My new favorite!
Here she is all ready to go!
I think I'll call her Henrietta...
What do you think of Henrietta??
I would sure like to take her home,
but she's already sold!
I love Henrietta! I'm not surprised she already sold. You did a wonderful transformation.
