Decoupaged Yellow Dresser! (I like yellow furniture :))

[Chocolate_Jo]

My bedroom renovation has been a saga of epic proportions, seeing as my parents wanted to buy my new furniture and be done, whereas I wanted to redo all of said furniture and drag it out for as long as possible So I took my 45-year-old chest of drawers dresser thing, and gave it a facelift!



I had always wanted to try decoupaging fabric onto furniture, but never had a good excuse to do so until now!

A before...





I used about 6 or 7 layers of ModPodge Hard Coat for the drawer fronts, sanding with 400grit between every two coats, and then a ModPodge clear matte sealer to finish it off. The body of the dresser is a combo of white primer, spray paint, and wall paint, as I 1. Ran out of my original spray paint, 2. DROPPED the sander onto the top of the dresser and gouged a chunk out, and 3. Did this all outside in the horrendous winds lol!

Some in progress shots...
