Dresser re-vamp for baby girl

Before we had even decided to try for another babe, I picked up this little dresser off the local rummage page.  I paid $20 for it, and orginally had plans of repainting it and turning it into a console for my hallway.  But when I actually saw it, I knew it would make the perfect baby dresser, and so it went down to the basement to be stored until I needed it.

Unfortunately, the only "before" picture I took was partway into the refinishing. It orginally had some very lovely 90's faux painted florals on each of the drawers.  They were some sort of sticker, and a huge pain to sand off!  So this picture is after sanding, and before priming...

I used the Sunshine prints I made as my color inspiration for the dresser.  I was able to use all paints that I already had, so this dresser make-over was pretty much free.  I did have to buy new knobs. :)  I painted the frame part of the dresser a medium grey, and then painted each drawer a color to match the prints--pink, yellow, and aqua.  I used my Silhouette cutting machine to import some of the flower graphics I had used for the prints, and turned them into cut files.  I then cut them out of vinyl, and used them as stencils to paint on the flowers on each drawer. I used acrylic paints because of their quick dry time. It was a bit time consuming and tedious, but the end result was definitely worth it.  I have a unique, custom piece for my baby girl!
