Revamped Dresser

As many of you know, I am MOVING THIS MONTH! I am really, really, really excited. I have been in brainstorm decorating overload mode. I have been thrifting, pinning, and searching for anything to spice up my bedroom. After checking my bank statement, I bittersweetly decided  that I would work with what I have. End result? A new and improved dresser (which will become my nightstand in my new room!). 


Boring old white dresser before. Looks so sad and dull... 

Progress... 







AFTER!!!






I was pleasantly surprised with the end result. I decided on a deep coral color and new gold hardware. I think it will add a fun pop of color to my bedroom. Stay tuned for more pictures when I move places in a few weeks!
