What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Begin sanding the entire body of the dresser, removing the drawers from the dresser.
  • Remove sanding dust with a tack cloth or other cloth.
  • Spray the dresser with Honeydew in very light coats. It probably took 5 to 6 light coats for the honeydew to look great on the dresser.
  • Spray paint the drawer fronts in light coats of Oxford Blue
  • Allow everything to cure completely before continuing with this project - about 24 hours.
  • Trace and cut out the whale and other silhouettes in white vinyl. Place on drawer fronts.
  • Add new drawer pulls if applicable.
