Silver Detailed Dresser Makeover

Some of you know I teach classes at a couple local gyms. I teach the early morning classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at one gym, and the nicest man has been coming to my class for a few years. Over that time, we’ve gotten to know each other quite well, and he now donates any furniture he is getting rid of to me. A couple weeks ago, he game me this dresser, which needed some work.

With the help of some special tools, wood filler, white paint, and DecoArt silver paint, I changed the look to this…

Come check out the full tutorial over at The DIY Club!

And now back to our regularly scheduled guest, the adorable Cassie of Hi Sugarplum! who is here today sharing all sorts of divine pink inspiration!
