Dresser Revamp

For family night last week Adam and I decided to paint the ugly dresser that we have in our bedroom. Here is the dresser before. I forgot to take pictures of it assembled but it just had 4 drawers.

And here is our dresser after. Our bedroom is all light blue and black/brown, so we decided to paint the dresser blue and the knobs are black.
Since we use it as a TV stand as well we decided to get rid of the top drawer and turn it into a shelf for our cable box and DVD player. We just cut the bottom of the drawer out and screwed it on to make a shelf. Then we sanded the whole thing down and painted it. Once it dried we put the new knobs on. So easy and we love how it turned out.

And the best part about it was how cheap it was. Here is what we paid for it:

Sand paper, paint, and paint brushes: $11.72
New knobs: $2.33 (I had a $15 gift card to the place I bought them at)
TOTAL: $14.05

I'm so glad we finally got this project done and that it turned out so cute!!
