Thanks so much for sharing this! Out of curiosity, did you put clear stoppers on the drawers or do anything special to soften the closing?

Hi! I used satin. It’s mostly a style preference for me, though the glossier the paint the more durable/wipeable it will be!

I just bought this dresser with the intention to paint it, so glad I came across this post. I love how much you changed the look of it with the top tab style hardware pulls — I might have to give that a try! What finish did you go with for the paint? I’ve read satin or semi-gloss are both good options for painting furniture but curious to see which you used! Thanks!

Hi Jo, and thank you! The drawer fronts are roughly 29.5 x 8.75″

Hello! Lovely work! I was wondering if you could do me a favour and tell me the length and height of the drawer fronts? All the best.
