Dresser Swap & Refinish

When we knew that we'd be using all of the same nursery furniture for our new baby, Joe and I decided that we'd need to purchase a new dresser for Collin's room. You might remember that we refinished a great bed that we purchased second hand for him last summer. After looking at some options and other used dressers we could refinish, we decided to contact the guy that we bought his bed from and see if he'd be interested in selling us the matching dresser. He was! And at only $70 it was a steal.

Here is the dresser before (with the old owners stuff...)

To refinish it we followed the same steps used for the bed: sand, clean, prime and paint!

Here are Joe and Collin painting together!

After painting and letting it cure for a day we put on matching cup pulls in oil-rubbed bronze and now it is living happily in Collin's room! We were very excited to get the matching set and love how it looks in the bedroom. At under $200 for all furniture and supplies, the upgrade to a big boy room was inexpensive at our house - and looks exactly how we want it too!
