A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had recently picked up some furniture from a friend cleaning out his investment property. The first piece to get a make-over was the Computer Armoire with a Twist.
The same friend also sold me a 5 drawer Basset dresser that I was thrilled to come across. This thing is SOLID! Seriously. Quality and looked brand new… just straight out of the 90’s. Luckily, that’s easy to fix.
For the white color, I mixed the remnants of about 4 cans of “oops” paint I had sitting on the shelf.
The old knobs, although unique, definitely needed an update. Aren’t these new knobs great?!
Apparently, copper is the new “it” color for metal this year (Did you know that?) The great people at D. Lawless Hardware generously donated these modern octagonal knobs for me to use. They are only $2 people! That’s incredible for high quality knobs!

Lol! Gotta love the 90's! I love the dresser, it looks beautiful! I am the same way stained tops and painted bottoms are my favorite types of furniture. The knobs are awesome too!
I can't get enough of the dark with white. Absolutely perfect. Please come share on my Chic By You kinky party @ ChicByTab
Oh my I love the finished look! Its so clean, and the dark stain with white pain is a perfect contrast in color. I would love for you to link this up at our Wednesday party.
Love it Elisha! That stain looks so rich. I'm a big fan of dark stain on the top and white/cream base furniture. Refinished my breakfast table the same way too.

Hahaha, gosh I remember chokers! Anyway, I love this transformation. It's always amazing what a litle paint can do.
SOOO much better. Love!

Stopping by from The Pin Junkie Party. Your dresser is so much prettier now and I love how to kept the top wood. Gotta love 90's "golden oak" (this house was full of it) but just watch, like brass, it'll be back in style soon.

I love how you did this! The dark wood stain looks beautiful against the white drawers!
Great job! I love the contract between the stained top and painted body.
That is gorgeous! I am inspired. We have many furniture pieces that need painting. Thanks for sharing so I'll have the confidence to get them done!
Blessings,

The dresser turned out great. I also love the two tone look as well.
