Dresser Re-Do

We were given Mike's grandpa's dresser set from his dad. It has been sitting in our guestroom unused for 2 years. I hated the color of wood and the hardware and refused to use it and it had a very strong smoke odor. I finally talked Mike into letting me paint them after reading this blog:

Here's the before:

Big thanks to my friend Katy. She came over one day for a BBQ and talked me into finally getting started on them. Otherwise they would have NEVER gotten done! She painted and primered her heart out! I love them so much. It cost me about $100 with the paint & hardware, for a brand new bedroom set. I used all the products in Just A Girl's blog, best paint ever!!
