Well, Bill has been hard at work priming and painting the piece using white paint and polyacrylic we had on hand. (We did pick up a can of spray primer to speed the process a bit.):
When we sold our big black bed and nightstands in March, we knew that the dresser/tv stand (Hemnes by IKEA) would not be staying either.
We sold the dresser on Craigslist in less than 24 hours for $175. Then we replaced the IKEA dresser with our thrift store score that ended up being about $10 including the primer and the dresser:
Isn't it wonderful? I just love how white and bright the new look is, and it fits in better with our new bed than Mr. Hemnes did:
I also love that we made money on the change!! Eventually, I do hope to make some built in shelves for this area, but for now this works (TV components under the dresser and all:)).
I should note that Bill did the bulk of the work on this piece, and he did a fantastic job!! Thank you B.
Have a great weekend...and if you need patio furniture, be sure to check out Target where you may find 50% off clearance prices!!
What a good looking dresser! You must have a very handy husband. . .
ReplyDeleteI think the white dresser is beautiful; the MBR is so cheery and restful. Bill you are a very talented restorationist!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the skillful application of the paint that makes it work so well in this space ;)
