painting furniture, updating an ikea dresser



I decided to give a dresser a little update, by treating it just like I did my desk. Don't worry, they are on different floors! I love the update, I had all the supplies at home, and the girls thought it was interesting watching me paint dresser drawers in the kitchen!





I have to say I'm pretty smitten with it!
