We figured all it needed was a little upcycle lovin from us and it would be beautiful once more.
Out of 24 gorgeous,rich colourswe were able to select three (it was a hard choice!)
and we picked these beachy, coastal-inspired ones: Cathedral Taupe, Champness and Bedford.
Fusion mineral-based paints are a durable premixed paint line with a built-in primer perfect for any painting needs.
With a warm damp cloth we removed all dirt and dust from the dresser.
We removed the old and ugly drawer pulls and wood filled the holes.
We poured some into our paint tray starting with the cathedral taupe as the main dresser colour.
With a small roller we applied a good amount of paint onto the surface with long thick strokes.
Next, we painted the drawer fronts alternating with the Bedford and Champness colours.
Fusion Mineral Paints recommends 24 hours dry time in between coats of paint.
Once dry, we sanded the edges of the dresser to bring back some of the rustic feel.
We made sure to remove the stencil before the paint completely dried to avoid peeling.
For the drawers which were painted with the Bedford colour, we stenciled the letters on with Champness instead.
Now thats our kind of store!
Needless to say if you are ever in the area, you must check them out!
Finally we added the lovely knobs!
We love how this upcycled farmhouse dresser turned out.
Now its time to see the rest of the DIY fabric project ideas from my Canadian blogging friends.
