I am happy to join Kim's Before and After party today!
This was a dresser I re-painted a few months ago!
It was such a great deal! Don't you love it when that happens!
I found this little beauty at a local thrift shop for $35.00.

I found this little beauty at a local thrift shop for $35.00.
My heart skipped a beat...
I had a vision of painting it white or black...
I left...didn't buy it...I was behaving
(I can do that sometimes..lol)
I went back the next week and it was still there...
Yep...she came home with me on that trip
I love the detail on the bottom and sides
and I just adore the bun feet!!
I used left over black paint from our summer painting projects.
It is by far the most versitail black paint!
I sanded the top before painting.
It did take 2 coats of paint.
It is a little cold here in Pa...
so we ran a heater in the garage so I could paint
The bottom drawer stuck and my thought was to sand it,
but first a phone call to dad to get his opinion...
He suggested to use some paste wax and that should do the trick..
it worked like a charm!!
Added some final touches with handles and knobs.
Did you spy the typewriter on top?
We found it at the Antique factory...
the kids love it!!!
Remember how it can only type in red or black and
dings when you are at the end of the paper!
Oh what fun!!

Why does everything look better painted black? Your dresser looks beautiful. Perfect spot for the typewriter. Well done.
Looks, good. I just started on a dresser myself and i have more paint stuck on my hands then the dresser. lol. mishelle

I love the look of vintage furniture when it is painted. Such a wonderful transformation. Hugs, Marty
Great painted chest! It turned out nice! Love the old typewriter! That's what I learned to type on in 8th grade years ago!
That turned out so beautiful!!
Great job!!!! I love that lil sweetie on top too!
the dresser is gorgeous :) and the fact that it was still there when you went back only means it was meant for you. LOVE the black, it's so chic. and i've never heard of the finishing wax! what a great fix. dads do know what they're talking about sometimes... :)
This looks great, Wendy! Thankfully, no one else saw the potential and you were able to get it.
Wendy,
I love the bun feet too! The dresser turned out fabulous!... dee dee

Just stunning - the handles look wonderful. What a deal you got!
Remember when you asked me what I was looking for to go at the top of my stairs -- that was it! Looks great.
Beautiful transformation!
Wow! That looks great...I love the bun feet! Thanks for sharing the paint.
what a great before and after! It's so pretty now
great job refinishing the dresser- good lines- i learned to type on a manual typewriter- my dd loves to spot them on our antique/flea trips. glad you found one
Oh how I am on hunt for a old type writer that works! I am getting married in April (in Jamaica) but am having a reception when we get back in the states and I saw this cute idea to have a type writer available for guests to stop by and leave you a little note. You know, everyone likes to play with those things. I have a few months to find one.. wish me luck!
I love that chest black, Wendy. I see I was your first comment the first time you posted this. Thanks so much for linking tonight.
You were wise to go back and get this one. It looks terrific. I left a great little side table recently and have regretted it.
Wonderful typewriter find! ~ Sarah
Looks gorgeous!
I love that dresser! The bun feet makes it perfect and it looks so elegant painted black.
Thanks for sharing,
