Together, Chris and Jake tackled this chest of drawers...
Life had taken its toll on this dresser in the form of abuse by spray paint, ink pen and some device that was used to gouge a hole in the top drawer. Chris and Jake tag teamed it though. Jake handled the sanding, working his way through many different layers of paint. They had to do some repair work on the front corner due to a missing piece. Wood filler was used to fill the break and create a smooth transition. They did the same thing to the gouge in the drawer. Then it was time to move onto the painting part of this makeover, Chris was in charge of that task. For the main color, he used a Valspar Signature Paint from Lowes that had been picked up in the $5 mis-tint cart. It turned out to be a very pretty periwinkle color. For the drawers he used a Valspar color called Cream Delight. He finished up the piece with a water based polyurethane.
