Coralette Dresser Redo

this post is in collaboration with Behr as I'm part of the Behr DIY Expert team, I was provided product for this post

I had a dresser that was begging for a redo, and it’s perfect timing because I knew it would look great in one of the Behr 2016 Color Trends – I love being a part of the Behr DIY Expert team for fun projects like this!  And bonus, today’s post is a GIVEAWAY – yep, you could win paint, for a project redo of your own (more info on that on down…)  – – I just love my Coralette Dresser Redo:

 

I think it turned out perfect, just what I imagined in my mind:

My tip for a quick makeover on a dresser – change up the color of the drawers.  It’s an easy project, and it really gives a whole new look.  This is the 3rd time I’ve redone this dresser!  The first time, I painted the base of the dresser white and the drawers a light green to match the baby nursery’s walls.  I don’t think I ever got a picture of what it looked like before then…  But I really loved it in the nursery.  Well it’s a little on the small side, so as I upgraded to a bigger dresser for my kiddo, I then FOILED the front of the drawers using just regular foil from the kitchen – it was awesome (although the picture isn’t great) and I used it in my craft room.  Well, when we moved the foil got a little banged up and torn in a few spots, as to be expected.  So it was time for another redo – I went with Behr Premium Plus in Coralette, and it’ll be perfect for our guest room!  All the while the base stayed the same – see, easy way to get a whole new look.

Let’s dive right in – – I pulled all the foil off and washed the fronts of the drawers because they had glue residue on them.

Then I busted out my 2016 Color Trends and settled for sure on Coralette (it’s what I thought I’d go with, but you never know).  It’s a perfect orangey-peachy-coral.

After the first coat I left the drawers to dry inside the garage and apparently our puppy couldn’t resist a little taste?!!

 

So I painted a second coat and let that try as well.  Then I attached new handles on – – hardware can be pricey, but it’s so worth it!

Then I topped it with a few cute things I’ve been collecting, like bedsprings to hold wildflowers…

And a bunch of ampersands that I’ve apparently collected and didn’t know it…

If you caught my periscope (I’m @sugarbeecrafts over there) tour of  my craft room, you’ll remember I kept a white wall in there just for photo shoot type of things – that’s where I was able to take pic of this dresser – just open my door and let the natural light in 😉 – – my view from the porch:

 

So cute!
