It’s been a long while since painted a dresser around here. I really love the look of painted furniture. For so many reasons I favor older pieces of furniture over anything new. For one, they just don’t make furniture like they used to. Also, rarely is new furniture solid wood and they just don’t last like the old pieces. It’s really tough to find solid wood furniture anymore so when you come across a quality piece it’s begging you to snag it. Matt and I first started picking up vintage dressers to paint before Peighton was born. We hunted for the perfect pieces to furnish her nursery. If you want a true blast from the past, check out her nursery<\/a> here on the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mint painted dresser<\/a> that we used as a nightstand for a long time was a really rough piece of furniture before we loaded it with wood filler, painted it, and gave it new life. Many years ago we also painted this two-toned dresser<\/a> that was such a great find. Most recently, I’ve been really into more natural-looking wood so Matt and I bleached a dresser<\/a> that I’m now using as my entryway table. I love the beachy vibes the light wood<\/a> tone gives. It actually matches another piece of furniture that we have in our house that I purchased in Jacksonville Beach so that’s a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We really don’t paint furniture as often anymore but when my brother-in-law told us that he had an extra dresser up for grabs we didn’t hesitate to scoop it up. We actually really need this piece of furniture and this now gorgeous blue painted dresser is now the showstopper of my girls’ shared bedroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we replaced it with the pretty blue painted dresser, the girls shared this chest from IKEA. I really love this piece of furniture. It’s really affordable and surprisingly good quality when you are not overstuffing the drawers. The problem we had was it just simply wasn’t enough space for the two girls to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
