Thrifting Thursday – Credenza Makeover

AFTER

I’m working on a fun bedroom makeover for a college kid. And this beautiful credenza is going to be one of the gems in the space. I found this piece on Craigslist months ago, but finally spent sometime this week giving it a little TLC. I kept it simple and went with my go-to look – wood and white (like this and this). The top of this dresser had some really bad water damage, so I decided painting it was the only way to go. Plus I like painting the outside of a wood piece white, it really frames the piece nicely and gives it a clean, crisp look.

BEFORE

This piece had some fun hardware, but it was a bit to brassy and cheap looking. So, I decided to take it all off and give it a quick coat of metallic gold spray paint. I also replaced all the hinges, they had seen better days and were all bent out of shape.

This is such a great piece for holding so much stuff. It has 9 drawers to keep everything organized.
