I decided to take my mom’s advice and try my hand at spray painting the original drawer pulls for 3 reasons.
1. I already had them so the project only set me back a can of spray paint.
2. The drawer pulls came with the dresser so they obviously fit unlike all the new ones at Home Depot.
3. And of course, because everyone knows that moms are always right. ;-)
So Aedan and I dropped by Home Depot again this morning. He didn’t wear his my sunglasses this time because it was actually raining! It rained for about 4 minutes and I actually had to think twice about how to turn on my windshield wipers.
Back in Home Depot, I picked up this little can of spray paint. I have to say, I am not usually big on the whole spray painting idea. It has been awhile since I have used it and when I did it was a MESS. All over my hands and I could never get an even coat. BUT I have heard great things about this stuff so I went for it.
Oh my goodness, this stuff is amazing! It took me all of 3 minutes to get the first coat on and my hands were totally clean. The paint went on even and looks great even after just one coat. I’m super excited!
Before:
Progress (I need to add at least one more coat before they are actually finished):
I think we are going to move the dresser into Aedan’s room this weekend so hopefully I will have some true after pictures soon!
I have been looking for some fun wrapping paper to put in the drawers but I am coming up empty handed. Any good store/sites I should check out? I thought about using scrapbook paper, but then I would have seams where the papers would have to line up…
