This beauty has had quite a makeover. Not so long ago, she looked like this…
That was in my parents house. As soon as we moved her to our house we lost the hutch. See how I created the wall of intaglios here.
But I still wasn’t thrilled with it, so I painted it the same color as the walls.
and spruced up the hardware with Krylon Gold Spray Paint
I also had a piece of glass cut to protect the top.
Isn’t she lovely?
Hi Katy!
Sure. We lightly sanded it and used an oil-based primer. Natural Bristle Brush. If you tell the guys at the paint store what you are painting, they can make perfect recommendations for paint, primer and brushes. 😉
Good Luck!
Hi there! Can you tell me if you sanded, used primer, sealant? Also the brands and paint brush type? I’m getting ready to paint a dresser and all of the talk online of sanding, priming, self-leveling…blah blah is making my head spin. I cannot screw this up! Thanks!!

Wow! What a dramatic change. Love it!
Looks great! I love giving older pieces a second chance!
She is gorgeous! I love this. What a great example of how to repurpose an older piece of furniture!
And she looks great with your new website. Love!
