Virginia at LiveLoveDIY found a $50 Craigslist dresser and gave it a fresh new look with paint. It turned out beautifully…
But Virginia took her dresser makeover a step further than I usually take my furniture makeovers. She actually painted the drawers! I guess I never thought of what a difference that might make, but it certainly does take this dresser makeover up a notch. And I love that she used a slightly different color for the drawers.
That’s a day and night difference from how this dresser started out…

April 19, 2012 at 7:20 pmWhat a difference a bit of paint makes – great that she painted the insides of the drawers too.
Many moons ago, when I was pregnant with my girls, I painted a tall chest of drawers and painted inside each drawer too – who wants to open up and beautifully painted piece and see that dark wood staring back at them.

April 19, 2012 at 9:55 pmDon’t ever open the drawers on dressers I do! They are nothing to write home about. Those ones look nice and fresh and new, I’d store my grundies in there. Or china depending on what room it ended up in.
