Stylish dresser makeover for the nursery

A new baby is always a reason to be happy. However, when you realize how many things you have to buy for the nursery, not to mention all the supplies, it gets difficult to still be happy. But if you’re clever you can cut the cost by buying or finding old furniture and giving it a makeover. Not only that it’s cheaper but you also get to decide on the color, finish and all those details and make it exactly how you want. Also, it could be a fun project and, at the end, you can proudly say that you did that with your own two hands.

Let’s start with a dresser makeover. All you have to do is find a dresser in fairly good condition and start from there. After that you’ll have to repaint it, maybe make some repairs if necessary, install new hardware and some finishing touches. In this particular case, the dresser was first sanded down. Once it was clean, a coat of primer was applied and then another one. The next day, when it was nice and dry, the dresser was painted. Spray paint would be the most convenient choice. Then it was time for the glaze.

After that, the mirrors had to be installed. If you can’t find the perfect size you’ll have to cut it yourself or go to a glass company for help. If you do that, they’ll also drill the holes for the new hardware. The mirrors were glued in place and the hardware was installed. After the glue was completely dry, the fabric drawer liners had to be made. The total cost for the project was $120.00. You can attempt to make a similar project but, of course, you can adapt and change some of the details to make it suit your needs and tastes.{found on blawndesblawg}.
