Dresser Dressing


Before: green walls, purple trim, and silver dresser with blue/silver fabric over the drawers.













After: pale blue walls, cream trim, and white canvas covered dresser.















Supplies: spray adhesive, un-primed canvas (drop cloth will work), primer, polyurethane, scissors, and paint brush.

How to:
spray the surface with adhesive and the back of strips of canvas-- small portions at a time. Adhere the canvas to the dresser. Once the dresser is covered prime the canvas. After everything is dry coat the dresser with polyurethane and maybe two coats on top. I used a liquid but you can also use a spray and the color may not be quite as yellow.

Cost: $0 for me but very low if you don't already have all of the supplies.
