Starting around memorial day weekend each year my family and I spend almost every weekend at my parent’s farm in upstate New York. It’s a far cry from my modern city life but I really enjoy the old farm-house and antique furniture. This past weekend I decided to spruce up a sad old dresser in my daughters’ bedroom and make it a fresh, country dresser that I now adore. The dresser before was an ugly color wood, with even uglier knobs. It lacked any kind of personality at all. 
I wanted to paint it white and came across magic in a can called Krylon fusion. There is no sanding or priming needed! I sprayed a total of 4 coats so I wouldn’t be able to see the wood grain through the paint, waited approximately 5 minutes in between each spray (that’s how fast this stuff dries), and then let it completely dry for about 2 more hours.
The final touch was adding these adorable antique floral knobs that we had saved from an chest or drawers.
For less than $12 and in only about 2 hours, I now have a charming dresser which is the center piece of the new closet design I’m working on. Stay tuned to see how the rest of the project turns out….
