White Dressers

I love white dressers. I don't actually use white paint all that often. I'm a girl who likes color. But a white dresser is probably the most versatile piece of furniture you can own. This one came from a yard sale. It was already white, but dirty and chippy. And I don't mean chippy in a good way. I'm still trying to explain the difference between good chippy and bad chippy to my husband.

I had a completely different color picked out for this piece, but it the end, I decided she just needed to be white. So after a light sanding and priming, I went with two coats of Sherwin Williams Dover White (their most popular shade of white).

I found these knobs at Marshalls and decided they were just the pop of color she needed.

Now she's distressed and chippy in a good way.

I think white was a good decision on this one.

I fnished her just in time for our tag sale and she sold quickly. I was a little sad to see her go.

But I have several white dressers in my life. I have one in my dining room. And I used one in each bedroom of our get-away home. These rooms are not complete just yet, but a white dresser is a great starting point for any room. I think each one has it own charm.

Dressers are my favorite pieces of furniture to use in decorating and also my favorite pieces to paint. You'll see lots of color here, but a classic white dresser is always a good thing!
