From Black to White – A Dresser Makeover

We have an odd little corner in our kitchen.  I ended up putting an old dresser in it that I’d painted Black Bean Soup, and it became our “kitchen office”.  Our phone is hooked up there, and it has become a hard-working corner.

After we finished painting the walls, the black dresser just didn’t look so good anymore.

So…I got out the whitest white paint I had in my stash and started painting.  I’ve never painted anything from black to white before, and after the first coat I was a little scared…If you try this on your own (and you should!), do NOT be afraid.  After 2 more coats, the black was completely covered.

Here it is “before”:

And here it is after 3 coats of  Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White and some distressing with the random orbital sander…(Ooooh…That part is so fun!)

Ahh…I love white! (And all those accessories are not staying.  I stole them from all over the house for this picture!)
