The Annalee Dresser - Custom Refinish Before & After

Photobucket

So there are a few of these little french provencial dressers with the gold trim and the slightly yellowed finish. Well these little ladies sure clean up nicely when they are dusted with a coat of white paint for a fresh clean feminine look.

    Hi. Coming over from Susan's. Growing up this was the furniture I had--even the canopy bed! I sure wish I still had it, to re-do it as you have. They really are pretty. Thanks for the reminder/tip that these are worth picking up and updating!

    You're right, white never goes out of style. Neither does French! andrea@townandprairie

    My neighbor has this same dresser, and also painted it white! I agree with you; it's never a bad choice!

    Can you tell us more about what steps you took on the dresser? I have the exact same dresser sitting in my garage and i'm unsure of what to do with it since it's not wood.
