Secondhand Style

Old Dresser

Black lacquer, applied by a professional, gives this old dresser a modern and sophisticated look. The whimsical, oversized drawer pulls stand out against the shiny black finish.

FURNITURE MAKEOVER TIP:
When painting furniture, paint like a professional; don't skip any steps or get in a hurry. You need to sand the piece before painting and sand again between coats. Use a pretreated tack cloth to pick up any dust after sanding. The coats of paint will go on more smoothly, and you'll be pleased with the results.
