Flip that Dresser

Finally finished with the final coat of polyurethane and put the dresser back together! Its not perfect, but I think it looks a lot better and should hold up better against stains with the poly coat.

Old Dresser


I couldn't find a good picture of the old dresser before we took it apart and repainted it, but here is what it looked like before. After a few years and using it as a night stand, the paint started chipping and there were rings from my water glasses at night.




New Changing Table/Dresser

Mrs. Waj did a great job with the paint, and I made a mess of the p0lyurethane. A few runs here and too thick in a few spots, but I have to admit, I'm proud of us. I think it looks great and should hold up much better. It has a nice mix of retro (it was my great grandmothers vanity and dresser from the 50's or 60's) and modern with the white paint and handles.

Now we are just waiting for the crib and maybe a bookshelf and we can put the room together!
