To This...TAAAA DAAAAAA
The flash from my camera is actually making it look a little bit lighter than it actually is. Cute though huh? Adam is so proud. Especially since I was trying to convince him to buy this... (for $1900)
1. Removed drawers and primed them. Then primed the dresser.
2. Put first coat of paint (Olympic Color Poolside) on drawers and then dresser.
3. Fed Aidan dinner. (Trying to go step by step here ha!)
4. Put second coat on drawers and dresser.
5. Ate dinner myself.
6. Took a piece of steel wool and started rubbing all the corners and edges of the drawers.
7. Used Min Wax stain in Dark Walnut and a foam brush. Painted the stain on and quickly wiped it off with an old tshirt. All in the same direction. I think tomorrow when I get home I will probably take a Q-tip and add some stain around the edges and let is sit longer.
8. Followed suit on the dresser.
9. Knobs were the WORST part. Use gloves!!!
10. Husband came home from work in disbelief of how well it looked. Now, I have this great piece of "vintage looking" furniture and an entire room to finish. At least I now know what color the walls are going to be (khaki).
Anyways, if your feeling brave and have some patience, try it out on a piece of furniture that needs a face lift around your house. Everyone enjoy sleeping in on your Sunday. I have to be up VERY soon!!! Thanks for checking in!

I LOVE it!! Can't wait to see the whole room... Keep us updated!
I adore that Dark Walnut stain. I keep a little can on hand all the time. Your dresser looks just as good as the ridiculously priced one! Good job.
Go you! Walnut stain is the best. Thanks for sharing at the PoPP.
