Bold Color
There are endless possibilities when painting a dresser. Sometimes a solid bold color is the way to go, as demonstrated by @sittingprettyhomedecor. She transformed the tired wood finish and French Provincial design with the perfect saturated purple, Sugarplum by Paint Couture.
Don’t be afraid to venture outside your usual color comfort zone to make a big impact.

Faux Wood Finish
It takes hours of sanding and stripping to get down to the wood beneath. Instead, try this painted faux wood finish technique from @sara.chen.design.
Here’s how it’s done: Paint the entire dresser with a primer, then a mid-tone beige color for the base coat. Next, apply a top coat paint color in dark brown. Create the wood graining effect by dragging a chip brush horizontally or vertically to mimic wood patterns. You can also create a paint that looks like wood on any surface with the art of faux finishing.

Pretty Pink
This pink dresser by @amostsimplehome was commissioned for one lucky girl’s bedroom; you’d never suspect it was once an outdated, dark wood piece.
In addition to the light pink paint job, she added the gold hairpin legs to give it a more modern silhouette. Floral wallpaper covers the interior drawers, creating a pop of hidden pattern when opening the cabinet.
