Dated Oak Dresser Gets A Makeover!

By Stacy 106 Comments

This post is sponsored by HomeRight. All ideas, opinions, and projects are all my own.

I have been slowly helping my sister transform her new house over the last year. We have tackle a few rooms and a few small projects. This dated oak dresser that was in her bedroom didn’t match anything else. It was the odd (orange) man out. I knew all it would take was a little paint and new hardware. I love how this grey dresser makeover turned out!

 

oak dresser from the 1990s

 

After removing the hardware and lightly sanding it, it was ready to paint. I used the Super FinishMax  with the green tip. I had some leftover paint from when I painted my kitchen cabinets so I used that. My sister’s room has a lot of grey accents so I thought it would be perfect.

 

HomeRight FinishMax Sprayer

 

I can’t wait to see what it looks like in her room!

Even though the cabinet had that deep oak grain, the Super FinishMax was able to get a nice, smooth finish.

This grey dresser makeover is one of my favorite furniture makeovers because of how much different it looks just with changing the paint.

Getting a little cold here for painting projects, alas, but I really love the way this dresser turned out. I have some sad, old dressers that would be prime candidates to get a makeover. Great inspiration, maybe in the spring.
