Taking the 70s out of the Dresser

Taryn inherited a dresser with great clean lines that was the perfect size for her daughter’s room. Unfortunately, it “was clearly a victim to some serious orange spray paint in the 70’s.” What’s a gal to do? At Design, Dining, and Diapers she’s working a pastel-friendly transformation with the help of chalk paint powder!

Taryn sanded the dresser to strip off the orange paint, then stained it. She mixed the chalk paint powder “into a quart of ‘remnant latex paint’ that I picked up from the hardware store for $2.50. . . . It’s a light gray with a little bit of a blue undertone.” After dry-brushing it on, Taryn can honestly say “THIS STUFF ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF.” The final touch came in the form of pink drawer pulls, chosen by her little girl. Looks like mama and daughter both have great taste!
