DIY DRESSER MAKEOVER | BEFORE & AFTER

I've had a lot of dresser makeovers as of recent. It comes in waves.

This piece was picked up from a family member that was hoping it would find a new life. It was covered with a very red finish and the veneer wasn't in great shape on the very top. But I did like pattern of the wood grain veneer on the front of the drawers so I was on a mission to try and save that portion.

I chose Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Farmhouse White to use on this piece. For those of you that don't know, her milk paint line comes in powder form and needs to be mixed with water. It's not nearly as intimidating to use once you've done it a few times.

I decided to use the style lines of veneer on the drawer fronts to map out a color-blocking design. I taped off the areas I wanted to leave untouched and used the milk paint to fill in the boarders.

If are trying out milk paint for the first time don't panic! Every piece goes through this ugly stage.

A little resistance and chipping is normal for milk paint on surfaces that have a more slick finish.

Hope you enjoyed the video!
