Masculine Dresser Makeover
My son was 7 when we bought this dresser. And over the last 11 years he's used this dresser to it's max. It was a great dresser but it's pulls were breaking and a glide or two needed repaired. I decided to give him a taller dresser with more room and give this one a makeover!!
Painted out in American Paint Company Freedom Road and the harlequin pattern is a stencil from Cutting Edge Stencil Company. The details were done in a perfect navy- APC Born on the 4th. Updated hardware on a budget- Home Depot 10 pack just under $20.
Boys apparently are rough on their dressers...
I lightly traced each diamond and filled them in hand painting.
Lightly distressed and waxed the entire piece with The Furniture Connoisseur's Antique Walnut wax. {love love that wax}
Perfect masculine finish without being too much!!

Very nice and not too masculine in my opinion which gives you more options

@Debby Ruffin I don't get to do too many "boyish" dressers so this was fun!! And I agree it's definitely able to fit into many decors having a pretty neutral gray with just a hint of fun on the sides!! Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Did you use only two colors? One for the dresser and the other girls the stencil?
Did you sand it first to stop the varnish bleeding through?
