Our Pinteresting Labor Day Weekend

We scored a FREE dresser, bought some new handles and paint and refinished it this weekend!

The Before:
Three colors, missing handles.... NOT PRETTY!!

The After:

What we did:
Took off the old handles.
The DH sanded/roughed up the surfaces.
Painted 2 coats of GREEN to get full coverage, may still add some green as a touch up!
Painted the beveled edges and ridges the same color as the accent wall.
Added the handles.

What we invested:
Dresser: FREE
Handles: $22
1 Gal. Green Paint: Behr Ultra Premium Satin (someone's mis-tinted shade of Split Pea Green??) $16.66
1 Qt. Behr Ultra Premium Egg Shell (UL 260-22 Pencil Point) $15

Without charging the paint to the dresser we spent $22. The dark paint mostly painted the wall, and the green will be used for some additional DIY projects.

Will post additional pictures when we complete Phase 2 and 3: which include building a platform bed and headboard with night stands and also decorating the room.
