I was on my way to the beach

It all started with our trip to Florida during Spring Break,  when I was on my way to the beach and I stopped over at  my nephews house to bring him his new pillows 
  and his table

Noticing that his place was a bit under furnished in his living space, I suggested that he take a dresser that he was not utilizing out of his bedroom and turn it into a entertainment cabinet. 
 

  He was reluctant at first , because he thought that it would look “weird” having the same looking furniture in every room of his place ( he has 1 bedroom apartment ) but when I convinced him that I could take care of painting the dresser he was all in favor of the change.

Truth be told, this was also like my “testing lab” where I could try out
some ASCP in G
raphite

 
I applied two coats of the paint , and roughed up the edges



 Painted the drawers

 Put the hardware back on

Accessorized with the only two things I could find in the apartment ( I need to work on that)
Then went to the beach!

ps- nephew will be applying the wax to this piece cause Graphite shows every little hand print!

  1. I'm impressed that you painted right on the rug!

    It looks amazing – guess single guys don't put much energy into buying accessories. Maybe he has some empty beer bottles lying around that you could repurpose!

  3. Hi Laura. That dresser/media cab came out so nice! I bet he loves that color. Great idea! I have to ask, do you sand before you wax? I love that you paint in place (i make such a mess to do that). Was wondering if you sand in place too. Sure beats moving the pieces in and out of the garage.
    Thanks! Beth
