Hi Friends!

I hope you’re having a great start to your week! We had a nice weekend, and the highlight of the weekend was going to HVCC’s garden show. I picked up these beautiful plants in pots for my porch.

For this week’s makeover, I wanted to share a dresser that went from just ok to a total show stopper. Here’s the dresser before:

The key to getting the look I’m about to show you is by knowing what stains to use to create an ombre stained finished. It’s a little easier to show by photos than by writing it out. So here you go!

The box on this piece is painted with Valpar’s Lincoln Cottage Black.

If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. 

Ready for the afters?

This dresser is up for sale; be sure to visit our SHOP page to see if it’s still available for purchase. Or contact us to get a quote to let us redo your furniture for you!
