Shabby Chic Dresser!!

I found an old dresser that just looked awful. The shape was great, but it was all scratched up and had some water stains on it. The dresser drawers were in good shape and had single pulls made of wood on the front of it. It had three drawers. Taking this $5.00 fine home from a yard sale I cleaned it up on the inside with some Clorox and water as I did not want any mold. I used some glue on one of the drawers to hold it back in place. Next I took a fine grit sand paper after removing the pulls, and sanded it all over. Making sure to sand with the grain so not to leave scratch marks. I used a tack cloth and removed all the dust from the dresser from the sanding. I like to use a soft white paint on a lot of my Shabby Chic items and that is what I picked for this one. I just did one coat of paint, and again sanded going down to wood in a few places after the paint had dried. I had a few rose decals and I placed one on the right top corner of the dresser, and one on each drawer on the right bottom sides. After this I used a medium oak stain to go over the whole dresser to tone it down a little. I purchased some glass knobs for the drawers and put them on after the dresser had dried. If you want a more protected finish you can spray off with a clear finish before putting the knobs back on. This gave a very nice soft look to the dresser!!
