Turquoise Fun!

-BEFORE-
Dumpster diving can be so much fun. Found a great retro dresser, knobs included (very rare to find knobs!) First a little cleaning to get rid of grit and grime, next a little sanding to smooth out wear and tear from it's former life, now for a splash of color! I am choosing turquoise, as it is my current go-to color for everything. Two good coats, light sanding then a third coat. Now it's time for the fun accent pieces: what color to paint the knobs? Tried several, decided on bright pink. Love the knobs, but it needed a little something extra to make it pop. Mod Podge'd great black and white print paper around the trim to finish it off. Couple coats of varnish for durability. And wow! The dresser of your dreams is complete!
