My son is in college and renting a house for the first time. We are visiting soon and he asked for a dresser. He said he didn't need anything big. I know that spending a lot of money on a dresser in a college guy's house might be foolish...

So I went out garage saling yesterday and found this little dresser (maybe bedside table?) at a sale. It's solid wood and sturdy and the price was right---$5. I figured that if he didn't want it, we could always use it somewhere.

I sanded it down.

I put a coat of primer on it.

I used Semi-Gloss Black paint by Rust-Oleum applied with a foam roller. It went on very smoothly.

I decided to only paint the outside. I promise, my son will not care one bit!

I added some knobs that I already had. I think it was $5 well spent. And the best part--I texted him the pictures and he said it looked perfect! :)

Debbiedoo's Newbie Party with a Twist

A couple of weeks ago I was out garage saling and came across this dresser for $10. It was sturdy and was in decent shape. Sold!

We reinforced the drawer bottoms so they would be strong.

I lightly sanded everything.

I wiped all of the dust off with a microfiber cloth.

I applied a light coat of primer using a little foam roller. It was EASY!

I used Minted Lemon paint from Home Depot.

I again used the foam roller and it went on smooth!

It was HOT yesterday, so the paint dried very quickly. I put two coats on everything.

I bought these stars years ago. With the hole in the center, I knew they'd be perfect for drawer pulls.

Using a long screw and a 1" metal extender (my husband says it's called a ferrule), I was able to make my own.

Because I was using a silver bolt and a rusty star, I wanted to make the bolt look like it belonged there. I dipped the head of the bolt into the Perma Blue and it was dark. (magic!!) I could have made the extenders dark too, but since they really aren't seen, I didn't do them.
