My sister brought me an old dresser from who knows where. Let's just say it had seen better days. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do anything with it, since it had a laminate top. And several dings and scratches in it. But I worked my magic and it turned out better than I imagined.

It looks FANTASTIC!!! Way to go, I knew you could make it beautiful again ♥
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT. Care to share how you worked around the laminate top? I have a few peices I would like to transform, but I'm kinda scared to work with laminate.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Looking at the 'before' picture, I am betting most would have run from that piece... you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It looks like it was a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dresser, now! It turned out great! LOVE that hardware too - wonderful job!!
ReplyDeletei am coveting your gorgeous dresser!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great - my favorite part is the hardware, of course!
ReplyDeleteI love the knobs on the top drawers! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog from JAG's Show and Share Day.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a dresser very similar to this, and didn't realize that it had a laminate top until it was delivered. I was planning on painting it also, so if you care to share any tips about painting the laminate on yours, it would be MUCH appreciated!

I just left a comment on Remodelaholic and then realized you probably would not see it. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I admire your work. You have taken something I would pass by and turned it into a thing of beauty. Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I believe that dresser was mine at one time many years ago. My mom still has the desk that matches it. May have to get that from her and re-do it.
ReplyDeleteI think I do have the cousin, how funny! Although my top is not laminate but something glossy on top of wood. Yours turned out great! What color paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog by the way! I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh thats exactly what Ive been looking for! And Nester(www.thenester.com) has its twin!
