$12 Dresser Transformation



Before:
I got this dresser at a garage sale across the street for $12 during the summer. The top of it was detached and broken but I just loved the shape so I had to get it. Finally in November we had some nice weather here so I decided it was time to try CHALK PAINT! It was a tight month financially and I like to use what I already have so I ventured to our basement to see what paint the previous owners had left. I found a green that they had used in the master bedroom and decided to use it. First I used wood glue to fix the broken top piece then attached it to the base. I then followed chalk paint instructions from http://www.iheartnaptime.net/chalk-paint/ I didn't do any distressing on my piece. I like distressing but it's not really was going for. 


After:
New entryway dresser!!
