Transformation Tuesdays #1 Chest of Drawers

There are so many reasons to celebrate

Over the past few months I have learned to celebrate the little things in life

Whether it's a new haircut

New outfit

Shed poundage

New job

New boyfriend

 let's find a reason to say "hurray"

I have created Transformation Tuesdays

just for this purpose

You can link up anything you wish to share

with us and we'll celebrate with you!

It can be a much needed

room rearrangement

repurposing an old something or other

or something I've listed or not listed above.

Here's my Transformation Tuesday

contribution

 sanded down

This is an old chest of drawers that was literally

tossed to the curb

My hubby saw quite a potential in it

and we are now using it in our big guy's room

total cost $60  for paint, knobs and fabric

 Paint is Behr brand "beluga" in semi gloss. He used less than a quart. It's a brownish black. It looks a little glare-y because the paint was not fully dry.

Love the detail on this piece!

In the big guy's room :)

I lined the drawers in the same fabric as the lamp I did for his room. This is quite the task, btw, I only did one because I couldn't stand the 101 degrees heat outside.
But I couldn't wait to show you! It looks so much better in person.

my husband used his spray gun to paint it after

sanding it thoroughly

he then put on these snazzy new drawer knobs

and we saved ourselves about $139
 for a new dresser at Ikea.

Best part of all--this is REAL wood.

So now it's your turn.
