5 drawer chest of drawers turned into a luggage dresser using Dixie Belle paint and some hardware from Amazon!
Products Used:
Dixie Belle Paints in Drop Cloth, Tide Pool, Black Sands, Chocolate & Manatee Grey
MinWax Polycrylic in Clear Matte
Handles, luggage clasps, hardware, etc
Step 1: I sanded the dresser all over to take off any old shine/finish. Patched old hardware holes with wood putty and sanded those areas when dried.
Step 2: Cleaned the whole piece with Dixie Belle White Lightening.
Step 3: Applied a primer coat to the entire frame of the dresser to ensure proper adhesion of the paint. I did not prime the drawer fronts since I was able to sand them down to their bare wood.
Step 4: Painted the frame of the dresser in Black Sands Silk and then planned out what each drawer would look like ahead of time.
Step 5: Painted each of the drawers in their base colors - 2 coats of paint each.
Step 6: Used a yard stick, measuring tape and lots of painters tape to create the lines of the luggage.
Step 7: Attached the latches, handles and other embellishments to the drawer fronts based on the plan I had made ahead of time.
Step 8: Seal the whole piece with MinWax Polycrylic in Clear Matte
Step 9: Line the insides of the drawers with a peel and stick wallpaper!
