Coral Painted Nursery Dresser

Did I wow you!

Starting strong this morning and showing the photo first. This beauty is headed to a girl’s nursery. The baby girl isn’t here yet but I’m sure she’ll go gaga over it.

This piece came from the Nashville Flea Market. It wasn’t much to look at but I could see the potential.

Spray Paint Furniture Hardware Petticoat Junktion project

The handles on the Mediterranean style furniture from the 70’s are a little over-powering but when painted a light color they’re beautiful.I used Rustoleum Heirloom White spray paint on these. The flower details and curlicues pop.

gray primer Petticoat Junktion furniture project

My go to primer is Glidden Gripper tinted gray. All it takes is one coat.

The color is Rose Heartstring ( a Glidden paint color), mixed in Behr Paint & Primer All-In-One. It’s not pink but not an orangey coral either…..it’s pink leaning towards orange only slightly! How’s that for a description?

  6. That is going to make a beautiful statement in a girl’s nursery. Beautiful color – beautiful makeover Kathy!

  8. When you have the primer tinted gray, what shade of gray do you prefer? I cannot tell if it is a light or medium gray.

    • It’s kind of a light-medium gray! I know that really helps! I just tell the guys at Home Depot to tint it gray and they know what color…from experience I guess.

  12. i am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this piece! I can not get over how much i LOVE the handles. I must find me a piece with handles like this. Thanks for sharing.

  13. It looks very smooth did you add any Floetrol to the paint or primer? Do you ever put a clear coat on your pieces?

    • I’ve never used Floetrol. I did put a General Finishes clear coat on the top of this piece. Sometimes I clear coat sometimes not!
