JACKIE DICI: Painting Old Furniture Nursery Room Makeover

This old dresser, once the dresser in every apartment lived in during college just met its match with paint spray gun. It was just the perfect storage piece for my sisters nursery room makeover. Perky peach paint from Benjamin Moore gave a fun playful pink vibe for the whole room.

When painting anything, the most important part for a professional paint job is all in the preparation.  After the dresser was striped down, broken up, and sanded it was ready for paint. Using a paint gun, apply slow even strokes, and let the paint dry between “dustings”.
