Dresser on a budget

My first DIY piece of furniture. This was not as smooth as some people make it look but I couldn't be more pleased with the final result! Here's how I did it.



DI Dresser $5
Removed drawers and handles, cleaned and sanded down

Removed handles before sanding and painting.

Painted a pale green to match bed spread
Because the handles were an odd size, I was forced to reuse them. BUT who knew that Lowes carries "Brasso" - a brass polisher. It saved the day and saved me $20 in handles.


Bought 2 knobs at Hobby Lobby with green accents.


Draped some lace across the drawer and spray painted it an ivory cream for a subtle effect.


Voila!
