This dresser was for my mom and, in my mom's words, "JUNK and a waste of money" And yes it had pieces of the wood missing in the corners and markers all over it and scratches and so much more but I took it as a challenge and I think it turned out great! It took a lot of work and I had to rebuild parts of it. Also I had to leave town before I could finish it for my parents so my mom went at it all ticked off (she is an angry painter and has zero patience for projects) and so that is why some drawers are darker then others because she went crazy on the antiquing glaze.
We used the cheap walmart brand paint in candy apple red. I did not like the application of it, you can tell it was cheaper. but after about 2 coats of primer, and 3 coats of red, antiquing glaze and the gloss polyurethane(which I know not to use now...) and replacing the old gold hardware, I looked great!
