I recently purchased a dresser for the second floor guest room in our house so that anyone spending a night or more would have drawers for their belongings.\u00a0 We had shelves installed in the closet when we had all of our closets designed last year, but drawers are always a nice bonus.\u00a0 They provide space for socks, undies, pajamas, etc. which is so much nicer than living out of a suitcase for days at a time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I added the dresser last month, Jordan said that the third floor guest bedroom could also use a dresser.\u00a0 Jordan and Charles sleep in that room when they visit because it is across the hall from the dorm<\/a>, where the grandkids sleep.\u00a0 (Adult supervision is always nice when there are three toddlers under age four.) The antique sugar chest that I was using as a night stand\u00a0 in that guest room did not provide any storage.\u00a0 So, I started doing dresser research again, and I found a pink dresser at my favorite consignment shop, Room Service.\u00a0 I have found so many jewels there and have been happy with every single purchase.\u00a0 To see the dresser I bought for the second floor guest room, go here.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, I knew that a pink dresser would never work in that room, but it was a solid piece from a reputable furniture company.\u00a0 The drawers were clean and worked smoothly.\u00a0 Painting it black and adding new pulls would give it the look I was going for.\u00a0 The headboard in that room is\u00a0 black wrought iron, and the other night stand is a French-style round black table.\u00a0 The headboard is on major sale right now.\u00a0 You can find it here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see in the photo, two of the pulls originally were placed in the middle of the top drawer, and they looked weird.\u00a0 I knew that I could remove them and cover the small screw holes with tiny wooden medallions.\u00a0 I found them at Hobby Lobby and painted them.\u00a0 The paint is Blackout in an egg shell finish by Behr.\u00a0 I didn’t want to use chalk paint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The dresser had some imperfections from previous use, so, I decided to bang it up some and sand off some of the black paint.\u00a0 The distressed look added character to it.\u00a0 Evidently the dresser was green once upon a time because some green came through when I was sanding.\u00a0 I am fine with that because like I said…..character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I found the pulls at Hobby Lobby when they were 40 per cent off.\u00a0 They are big and bold and have kind of a French look to them, They really look great on the black background.\u00a0 The dresser doesn’t look anything like it did when we brought it home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I took the process one step farther and added black and white checked drawer liner.\u00a0 It is actually thick wrapping paper that adds some pizazz to the inside as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, fresh flowers always make anything look better.\u00a0 These are a hostess gift from my daughter-in-law, son, and granddaughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jordan and Charles loved having a dresser in their room when they were here last week, and I am so happy that I was able to accommodate their needs.\u00a0 To learn how I made the bed skirt using dental floss, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
