    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!

    Grey dresser

     

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

    Painted grey dresser

     

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

      Our next project is painting an old trunk and making it a toy box.

      That's great! I have an end table that has dark wood grain and I've been wondering about paint...now I'm going to give it a try!
