I am so smitten with the outcome of Capri's dresser! I am not a big DIYer but thought I would wing an Ikea hack on our dresser. With her room being bright white and cheery a black dresser just wasn't gonna work. We also added gold bar pulls and rose up the whole piece on legs from Pretty Pegs to make it fit the space better. I topped it with a simple gold mirror and sweet little accessories. Be sure to check out the major before and after pic below.
What we used to transform this piece:
Laminate covering primer ( we used this one )
White paint ( we used Vista White from Vista Paint)
Legs ** make sure you order the universal plates for these legs. I didn't the first time around and had to wait for them to finish. So annoying!!
We applied about 3 coats of prime with a small sponge roller. The primer dries quickly. We then applied about 3 coats of the white paint. Her room is so sunny that I wanted to make sure there wasn't any black peaking through. I had my hubby measure to the middle of the drawers and screw in the pulls. Screw on the universal plates for the legs and then add the legs. You have brand new gorgeous dresser!!!
