Hi guys, So I picked up this beauty from the goodwill for $2.99!!!!! Yes! $2.99!! I had to do a double take when I saw this price. It is solid wood and very durable. I cant believe that someone would give this thing away. Let's walk through the process of repurposing this beauty: 1. The first thing I did was wipe the dresser down. 2. Remove all of the hardware with a screw driver. 3. I went on to sand the dresser with my black and decker sander. (This took quite a while). 4. After the sanding was complete I wiped the dresser down thoroughly . 5. Priming was next. Make sure that all of your strokes are as even as possible when you prime. 6. I let the primer dry for about 2-3 hours and then began to paint. (Watch a movie, clean the house, or do something else fun during this time!! ) 7. The paint color I used was Rustoleum Sun Yellow.

I think I may change out the hardware soon. I want a more glam look for this piece. It probably took me about 2 hours to paint the entire dresser. Put on your favorite tunes or favorite show and get lost in a project like this! Materials you will need:I absolutely love this dresser and the way it turned out. I use it for additional storage in my basement washroom. I thought it would be SUPER cool to put a dresser in the bathroom. This dresser is a conversation piece for sure! People are always shocked and amazed that I put a dresser in the washroom. They are also shocked by the bold color I chose. This is my favorite DIY to date. I love it some much
