Note to self: cut yourself off from painting anything with drawers. Seriously. If you hear me talking about another dresser or desk to make over with paint, contact me, stat.
I started this project of painting two IKEA Rast dressers about a month ago. Almost every piece of furniture I’ve made with over with paint has had drawers.
Drawers=more planes=more sanding=more painting=more work=less fun.
Here’s a close-up shot of them so far:
My weapons of choice: Behr Premium Plus Ultra in Sterling (flat), Rustoleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover in White (flat), Minwax Polycrylic in Semi-Gloss.
This round of furniture painting has taught me a few lessons. Continue reading after the jump to see what I’ve learned through this process.
