I used my brush to put paint globs (technical term) on the dresser. I was out of small sponge rollers so no rolling. I worked with what I had and figured out the best way to lessen the brush marks. The semi-gloss paint was leaving a lot of brush marks so as I do sometimes I did my own thing. Not the highest quality furniture although it is real wood. See the thin drawer glides on the sides and there are no cross pieces on the front between each drawer. I wanted you guys to see the inside of the chest. ![]() The primer just provides a nice base for the top coat. But first I wanted to apply a coat of primer. The paint I selected for the top coat is white semi-gloss paint left over from a past home paint project. More on that later.Īfter some thought I decided to go with glossy white paint. My plan was to remove the original knobs and pulls and find new knobs after the paint makeover. I paid $40 for it at a local indoor flea market. It’s a really cheap mid-century modern imitation. This is how the chest of drawers looked before the makeover. ![]() No rough veneer, no distressed paint, no vintage feel. This furniture makeover is the total opposite of the last one. You don’t have to go crazy with metallic paint. I’m patting myself on the back and eating a piece of chocolate. When you see how I used the gold spray paint I think you’ll be impressed. The combination of Rustoleum metallic gold spray paint and glossy white paint is a winner….clean and classy.
