HOW TO PAINT A DRESSER
Painting furniture is an easy way to give it new life. I have been painting furniture for a long time so I have learned a few things along the way.
This dresser we found at the end of someone’s driveway a few years ago. I had painted it for Dominic’s room, but now that we are using it in the girls room, I wanted to give it an update. A fresh coat of paint was exactly what it needed!
When painting furniture, I like to follow these easy tips and it always turns out perfectly!
WHAT YOU NEED TO PAINT A DRESSER
DIRECTIONS TO PAINT A DRESSER
Sand any scratches, loose paint, dirt off the dresser & wipe completely clean and dry
Remove any hardware before priming/painting. I painted right over the hardware for this piece
Use a foam roller or angled brush and paint a layer of primer on the entire dresser. Take out the drawers to make it easier to paint the fronts & sides.
After allowing the primer to dry (about 30-40 mins), paint a layer of paint
Allow the first coat of paint to dry (I wait about 45 mins- 1 hour) & apply a second coat of paint
I let mine dry completely overnight to really cure & harden
Replace any hardware, put the drawers back, & style as you like!
Painting a dresser is really very easy! It’s so worth the outcome! Would you paint a dresser?
