what's old is new

I love Craigslist!  I love trift stores and yard sale furniture finds.

I found this dresser yesterday on Craigslist for $20

With some sanding, paint and new knobs I was able to give it a new look for my daughters' room

 The top was scuffed and bubbled but that didn't matter because was going to sand and paint it anyway.

 I used a hand sander for the top because the top was really damaged and it had a thick coat of varnish

 It took about 3 full coats of paint

I let the paint dry in between the coats.

 Final coat, waiting to dry

 Ta da! 

The paint color I used was called Gum Drop. 

Even though the desk is dry I am going to let it sit in the garage a couple days to make sure the paint has a chance to cure.
