<\/a><\/p>\nFor Tiffany’s dresser she removed the top piece and the lower drawers. I love this idea because the baskets give it texture underneath and deeper storage.<\/p>\n
She used\u00a0Valspar color radiance flat spray paint and the color was caramel honey. I think yellow is absolutely gorgeous!<\/p>\n
This works great in an entry, dining room, or could even be a television stand. You would just need to drill a few holes in the back of the dresser for the cords if you wanted to store your DVD player or cable box in the space at the bottom.<\/p>\n
Tiffany did not prime her dresser<\/a>\u00a0before she spray painted it, but if your surface is shiny I would recommend lightly sanding and priming if you don’t want it to eventually chip. Tiffany likes the distressed look, so she painted it without priming.<\/p>\n Make sure the furniture is clean and dust free before spray painting and allow the paint to fully dry between coats. I recommend allowing the paint to cure for several days before placing anything on the furniture.<\/p>\n When I lived overseas the only paint available was spray paint, so we used it to paint everything. I was always happy with the spray painted finish. If you haven’t spray painted a piece of furniture before I would try it! It covers well, especially in areas with fine detail, and is quicker than painting with a brush.<\/p>\n I spray painted this mirror for the girl’s bathroom and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I tried chalk paint originally, but it was very hard to get coverage in all the wood detail. I was able to spray paint it in about three minutes.<\/p>\n Finished picture coming soon!<\/p>\n I love that Tiffany turned the four drawers she removed from the dresser into shelves! I absolutely love this idea and that she personalized the shelves for a friend!<\/p>\n Tiffany attached her drawers together but there are several other ways you can use dresser\u00a0drawers as shelving. So, so cute and clever!<\/p>\n I love this idea for a single drawer shelf for storage in the bathroom from Beyond the Picket Fence<\/a>.<\/p>\n These dresser drawers found on\u00a0Country Living <\/a>were turned into a bookcase. Remove the hardware allows you to position the shelves in different directions. Lining the drawers with wallpaper or fabric gives it an\u00a0awesome custom look.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
