Lil’ Vintage Dresser Makeover

Wednesday I admitted I have a wee-bit of an obsession with chairs. I also mentioned that I had a few other projects up my sleeve.

Let’s meet Ella shall we.  When I walked into my local thrift shop I spotted this beauty instantly. It was the perfect lil’ vintage dresser I’d been looking for and it was love at first site.

Her top had seen better days but with a little love & TLC she’d be good as (almost) new.

Isn’t she lovely? I used Valspar’s Signature Paint and Primer; Fleecy which is a warm white & Lincoln Cottage Black which is a velvety gray/black. Hardware got hit with Rust-Oleum’s Hammered Gold.

She may not be perfect…
