Talkin about a cheap dresser .... this one takes the cake! I think it belongs in an office.
It lived in my sister's attic for 5 years. Now I know why! UGLY grey speckled laminate dresser - I think the previous homeowners left it there. :) It weighs a TON.
However, times are tough in this recession and I needed a dresser for my 3 year old, Brady. His clothes are in a plastic 3 stackable drawer system from Target, in his closet. Yes, a good idea, but need more room. Really? Can I make this thing look better?! It will be a stretch.
Lets see .....
Went to Home Depot and bought 2 cans of blue gloss spray paint (had to go back and buy 2 more). Also bought 4 wooden knobs to add to the drawers.
This is after 2 cans of paint. As you can see on the right side .... it looks like camofladge pattern. Must get more paint!
I put the knobs on an egg carton and sprayed them several times at several different angles until they looked good and covered well.
I measured corner to corner, at an angle, to find the center. Then, I predrilled holes in the drawer and screwed in the knobs.
This finished product is better that the previous product. However, acrylic enamel will have to be brush painted on top of this if I really want it to be perfect. That will come along in the Spring. For now, this works great for Brady's room. We have somewhere to put his clothes that is much better than 3 drawer plastic bins.
