This dresser was a steal for $60! It is large with eight drawers and is a well-made piece. The hardware is a beautiful brass that just needed a good cleaning with Brasso.
Using paint from Devine Color by Valspar, I painted the entire dresser in this gorgeous blue. I am completely sold on this paint! It is one coat coverage and contains the primer right in the paint, so no need to prime first! I loved the color and the smooth and silky finish. It comes in a variety of colors including chalkboard finishes and you can pick it up at Target!!
It dried to this gray- blue that is just stunning with the newly cleaned hardware!
Not to be outdone, I trimmed out the mirror with this gorgeous gold also from Devine Color by Valspar. I have seen gold paint before that dries a real yellow color, this one dried a true gold with a shiny metallic surface.
And while I was at it, I painted a couple of IKEA shelf brackets I plan to use in the closet in gold also.

That dresser is a great find! My mom just found two beautiful nightstands for $45. I can’t wait to get my hands on them with some paint! I feel like I hardly ever find such bargains 🙂
It’s a thrill for sure when you find a great treasure!
Oh my word!!! You were so fortunate to find this large dresser…very hard to come by in our area. And those paint colors…swoon! Especially the gold. We can’t believe that it dries to a true gold color from a brush-on paint. Fantastic!
Yes, Vicki and Jennifer. I really scored with the dresser! You’ll need to try the paint. It’s fantastic.
