My Hardware is Happily Distressed

I’m so excited to say that I finished my guest room triple dresser makeover yesterday. Woo hoo!! I thought I’d show you what I did to the hardware first.

It was sooo simple.

Dresser Hardware Makeover

Here’s what the hardware looked like. I thought about taking it to the thrift store some time ago because it was very dated, and you couldn’t see the great details.

But I decided I should save a few pennies and use it if I could. So I spray painted all the hardware with a lovely white paint and primer combo to see if I liked the way it looked.

And I did… but it still needed something more. So I pulled out the sandpaper (not sure what grit it was, I just used what I had on hand) and distressed it a bit, and then dry brushed it with Caribbean blue paint.

I’m sooo loving the blue… and how easy was that?  You can still see bits of the gold coming through. I did this to all the hardware, and I’ll show you how it looks on the dresser on Wednesday.

Thanks so much for reading and stay tuned!!
