It looked like this before:
My mom recently moved into a condo and purchased this nightstand and matching dresser from the previous owner after my sister-in-law and I were going ga-ga over them when we tagged along for a house showing. We both had visions of refinishing in our heads! I traded Mom this piece for an extra nightstand that we weren’t using, which had a much boxier profile that didn’t work for me. This one has nice legs and other details, but needed a little update because the paint finish was a little bland. Enter turquoise, which is anything but bland!
I won’t bore you with the gory details, but they included a lot of sanding, priming and painting with my sprayer, followed up by several light coats of Polycrilic. Oh, and some new hardware. The old hardware was just okay, and I love the way these new acrylic handles pop off the turquoise paint.

Just dropping by to tell you, that piece is beautiful! I know it took a lot of hard work. There is a paint you can use, where you don't have to sand, strip, or prime your furniture, get any possible color under the sun, and get a beautiful finish. Please visit BushWoodArt.com and Lucysbaby.blogspot for more info, I'd really appreciate it, and I know you'll love it.

Very classy!! Love the color and the transformation! Visiting from Thrifty Decor Chick.
Reply@I'm Busy Procrastinating I was going to ask the color too! It is gorgeous. Very classy refinish. Reminds me a bit of my nightstands. Definitely the look I am going for with a dresser I am refinishing for the living room. Where is the hardware from? I wanted something similar.
Reply@Megan Thanks! The hardware is by Liberty. It's the Clear Victorial Glass Knobs and Glass Pulls. I got them from Home Depot online.
ReplyThis is beautiful. I won't dismiss ugly furniture like that again, when I see it's potential. Love the Robin's egg blue and the glass hardware. So pretty!
ReplyGorgeous! My favorite color! Amazing transformation!
ReplyA beautiful colour, and I love the pulls!
