craigslist dresser makeover {a diabolical plan goes awry}

Remember this little mirror makeover?  If I were you, I'd be too lazy to click the link, so here's a quick before-and-after:

I had a diabolical plan for it, as well as for the matching dresser that tagged along.

As you know, diabolical plans are subject to change.  And change, the plan did.

Here are a couple before shots of the matching dresser. 

The top was R.O.U.G.H.

I was originally going to wrangle Philly into turning this into a bath vanity for our guest bath.  I had grand plans of putting a new veneer on the top and it was going to be fabulous.

Then I convinced Philly that he had an even grander plan of building a bath vanity from scratch.

He loved his idea!

So, the dresser is back to being, well, a dresser.  Here's the makeover.  The body was painted in DIY chalk paint from Valspar Delightful Moon.

The mirror and the dresser top were painted in Old White.  And because I can't leave well enough alone, I added a little design to the top as well.

 

The curvy lip on the front was the only salvageable wood part, so it got some new stain.

I lightly distressed the edges and painted the original hardware with Oil-Rubbed Bronze:

 

 Except the little knobs on the top drawers.

They got new bling from Hobby Lobby:

And here you have the mirror and dresser (and a clock butting in).
Yep, I'm THAT good at vignettes. 

Reunited and it feels so good.
