I love coming across a dresser with this many drawers! They aren’t easy to find but make a glorious makeover when you do. This one has great bones, if a little outdated. All she needed was a nice coat of sunny yellow paint – in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Yellow and some updated hardware.
And drilling new holes is never the most fun part.
{See, the old hardware doesn’t look so bad all their own. They’ll be great on a future piece.}
Deciding on paint color and hardware is the hardest part because, to me, it’s what makes the most difference.
Here she is all brightened up with a new coat of sunny yellow paint and updated hardware.
And it makes all the difference in the world! Don’t get me wrong, sometimes a nice wood piece is great here and there…
But then you can’t add a nice pop of turquoise without this beautiful yellow, now can you!
Plus, the milk paint is hard at work chipping in just the right place for an authentic look.
{Milk Paint does NOT continue to chip once properly sealed.}
Isn’t that delicious?!
And see, the little extra work goes a long way. After all, sometimes, it’s all in the details!
love the mustard..it’s a beautiful color!!
Perfect color! Amazing makeover!
so pretty and chippy! I’ve got to lay off the bonding agent… mine didn’t want to chip like this… you warned me… love the yellow!

Where do you get the beautiful pulls and handles for your projects? I found some on ebay, but nothing like what you are finding.
Here and there really! These came from Hobby Lobby. I search online, local craft stores and places like Anthropologie.
I’m not a big yellow fan but I loved how this piece turned out. Well done!
Thank you!
