Total Project Cost: $95
Tools: Electric Sander, Screwdriver Power Tool, Wrench Set, Small Crowbar
Time: One day from conception to completion.
1. Project Buy dresser (this one cost $75 off of Craigslist)
2. Remove drawers, clean, and remove handles with screwdriver. I also removed the feet for easier sanding and painting.
3. Sand down finish (I used an electric sander for the grunt work and touched up the hard parts with a piece of sandpaper).
4. Wipe down sanded dresser (This will allow the paint/primer to adhere better to the surface).
5. I removed the top center drawer and track for an entertainment opening. I had to remove the drawer track which needed some force. I then measured the space, bought some 1/4" interior plywood at Lowe's, let them cut it there in store, and screwed the boards into place.
6. Paint with desired interior paint/primer. We used paint/primer in one from Lowe's. A quart of Valspar Satin Churchill White was more than enough.
7. Use metal adhering spray paint for the handles Reattach handles and replace drawers.
Simple!
