My One Dollar Dresser

We inherited a fabulous dresser for our nursery from my Aunt Julie. The color, however, did not match our nursery (it was yellow) and so i decided to paint it. I knew I wanted it mostly white, but I felt like it would look boring just plain white... however I did not trust my hand-stenciling skills and we're already doing decals on the walls.... so I searched around on the web and found a great idea: stripes! I was easily sold because I love stripes, and my friend Hope had just recently introduced me to a great blog: www.younghouselove.com, and they had recently painted their bathroom in stripes and posted a great tutorial. So I was set! Here's the finished project (sorry I forgot to take a before picture).





It only took a few hours of painting, but the best part was that the whole project only cost me one dollar! We already had the dresser, primer, and white paint, so all I needed was a beige. I went to Columbia paint and perused their mis-tint section and found the exact color I needed! And a pint was only a dollar! Pretty neat, eh?
