Distressing to De-Stress


Redoing furniture is keeping me sane these days. This is my husband's old dresser (it had fake wood siding like a 1970's station wagon). I wish I had taken a before picture but I got so excited about getting started that I totally had a brain-fart and didn't think about it until I was elbow deep in veneer shavings. I literally hated this dresser before I painted it and now I love it!
Steps
1: sand it
2: sweep it
3: spray paint it
4: beat the bejesus out of it

  1. Hi Deven! It looks great! Someday I should do that to our stuff -- we have so much over here that could use a new look! But, to find the time...always my problem:)

  2. OK, so you seriously need to get to my house. I would love to update my furniture, as I do not have money to buy all new! I tried to do it once and lets just say I failed miserably!

  3. Hi Katrina & Sig,
    I wish I had more time to redo furniture. I love it when I look at an old piece and SEE so much potential in it!
