Have you ever come across an old dresser like this on the curb waiting to be picked up on trash day?<\/p>\n

My father-in-law finds curbside discounts all the time! Many people would pass up this dresser because it is missing a bottom drawer and is kind of dirty.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a piece of furniture, don’t pass up nice solid wood pieces with minimal damage! You can really turn them into something beautiful!<\/p>\n

I absolutely love this turquoise color\u00a0reader Jessica painted the dresser. I also love how she removed additional drawers to make this a great buffet piece.<\/p>\n

According to Jessica:<\/p>\n

As you can see I removed 3 drawers, and cut a support from the left side. I added a back (using Mod Podge <\/a>\"\"to secure the fabric to the back), middle divider, and shelf for the right side.<\/p>\n

I made my own chalk paint for the entire thing, and even painted the insides and outsides of the drawers. Each drawer has fabric mod podged inside as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This turquoise color is so popular right now and I LOVE it! The best thing about painting furniture is that when you change your decor you can change your paint and have a new to you piece of furniture! Jessica also changed the handles on this dresser which really gives it a nice modern look.<\/p>\n
