At first...
This was the very first piece of furniture I bought to refinish and I am just now getting it done. It was a very simple and quick project but I just got caught up in so many other projects. But here it is start to finish:)And it only cost me $7.

Trial and Error
This dresser was a pain in my butt! Here it is before.
It took FOREVER to remove the layers of paint and stain from this. Sanding for hours and hours and hours. And several coats of paint thinner. I did however learn that they have thinner that comes in an aerosol can and I LOVE IT! It works so great and is much easier to deal with. So once it was all sanded it was time to paint it. I decided to try out spray paint for the first time. It worked but wasn't not amazing. By this point I was just ready to be done with it. So I painted the handle pink with craft paint, sealed it, and called it done. I know I shouldn't have rushed, but I was loosing my patience. But now it is done and its on to the next project!!!
