Revising My Old Berkey and Gay Chest





Some of you may remember this  $50.00 dresser from a 2010 post
http://1frugalqueen.blogspot.com/2010/02/im-so-berkey-gay.html

 At the time I decided to leave it the way it was because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with it.

So I finally decided to do something with it.

I started peeling off this plastic laminate on the top and on the bottom where the dresser was damaged. I used a scraper.

More peeling
After the peeling I applied one coat of primer all over.
Then I used a semi gloss paint.
I really love the light and dark shadows.

Finished!

Be Frugal and Live Like a Queen

  2. Very pretty! Sometimes it pays to wait before taking on a project if you're not sure which direction you want to go with it. I like to wait awhile myself {as long as the item is not taking up space that we need to walk around it!}. I just got a little table that I'm kicking around three different ideas for.
