Dresser Part 1
Last week I went to Menards to look at paint colors and figure out how to start this project. I bought this deglossing cleaner that is suppose to key glossy surfaces. I haven't used it bc the dresser had clothes in it and stuff on it and I had to find a place for that stuff.
So tonight I ripped a moving box to make a flat surface to protect the carpet. I emptied and cleared off the dresser and dragged it out here. So far I have cleaned the dresser itself and next I have to do the drawers.
After that I still might have to lightly sand it, which I was trying to avoid. Without a vacuum cleaner, getting sawdust on my carpet is a problem I can't fix. Maybe I can do that outside, though its pretty warm this weekend.
Next step has to wait for payday, I need to buy some oil based primer and a brush to paint the primer on it.
Right now I am waiting for the dresser to dry.
So that is my progress on this little project. I am going to paint this a BRIGHT green. It will be the loudest piece of furniture I own.
