Just another Craigslist furniture makeover….
A French country dresser makeover…
Isn’t she a beauty? I love love love the gray and white contrast. She had humble beginnings:
She was pretty beat up when I found her on Craigslist. The bottom right drawer front was actually off when I brought her home. Grunt Labor fixed it for me. I gave her a good cleaning and a light sanding.
For the body, I mixed up some homemade chalk paint with a simple white paint sample I had on hand.
For the drawers, I mixed up more homemade chalk paint, but this time I just played with colors to come up with a custom gray color. I started with white and added some dark gray left over from the french country chest makeover.
It took about two coats of the gray on the drawers and three of the white.
I kept the original hardware (love that style) and gave it a fresh coat of white spray paint.
I’m happy to say this piece, hmmm, she needs a name………I shall call her Vivian, is already in a new happy home. Vivian sold within five days of being listed!
