French Provincial Dresser Make Over

French Provincial has always caught my eye. Especially in white. We had bought a small dresser for Collette's room as the first addition to her nursery. A year later I decided I wanted a larger dresser with a matching nightstand. So I found and bought both off of craigslist in great shape. They are slightly different but with the same hardware and paint it will look matching!

 

 

You see many variations of these dressers on Pinterest. Most are just painted but still have the old hardware. I love the shape of the dresser and nightstand but have never been fond of the hardware. Luckily I have access to a professional painter, I told him that I wanted a high gloss white and all the holes from the original hardware filled in so I could install new. He did a great job. The dresser looked amazing, and completely transformed.

 

This is the hardware I had picked out before even starting the dresser. I hope it looks as good as I pictured it.

 

The pulls were easy to find. I thought I would use these on the 6 drawers on the dresser and the 2 drawers on the nightstand. After receiving them, they looked great for the dresser but way too large for the nightstand. So I decided to do the same knobs as I did on the dresser for the nightstand.

 

  Here is the finished project. Ah, I love this big dresser. It works great for a changing table and after that phase it will still be a staple piece in Collette's room for many years to come. The nightstand matches great and looks very dainty/girly in her room. The dresser also came with a mirror so we had it painted too but are storing it until we need it. The white gloss paint and new hardware gave this furniture a new life.
