Dresser With a French Accent

I made a few changes to a dresser that I had previously redone.

This is what I started out with. A plain brown dresser from Goodwill. (You can read about the original dresser redo here.)

The color actually wasn't too bad but the finish really needed some attention.

Here are the drawer fronts with the hardware removed.

I painted the body of the dresser in a Krylon silver metallic spray. In the sun it comes alive and just sparkles. (Similar to an emaciated vampire from a highly popular movie, only better.)

I sprayed the hardware silver to match the body of the dresser but painted the drawer fronts in Southern Breeze by Behr.

And here was the finished result.

I really liked it but thought that I could make it even better by adding a french twist.

I asked my friend, Crystal (otherwise known as my vinyl supplier supreme) to make me some vinyl french numbers in silver. I gave her the measurements I wanted but they ended up being visually too big. So I learned that when measuring for words, I need to make the size smaller than I think I need and then they will be perfect.

I love how it turned out. (The words read: one, two, three, four in French. No, I don't speak French although I did take one semester of the language in high school. I can count to ten and ask you what color your tennis racket is but that is about it. That being said, if I have misspelled any of the French words, please let me know before I embarrass myself any further...)

Four in French. (I think.)

I added shelf liner vinyl in a faux marble pattern to the drawers. BTW, each roll ONLY has enough coverage for two drawers--a little frustrating when you've only purchased one roll! (Those are Goodwill plates from my Easter post here.)

One more time. The before.

The after.

The after with a French accent. C'est magnifique!
