TALL BLUE VINTAGE DRESSER - fixing drawers

Time to share some tips and tricks I use to refreshing drawers.

Here is how this dresser transformed on the outside.

The color is just amazing distressed over the dark stained wood.

The dresser was in decent shape with only a few repairs needed. The biggest problem was on the inside.

 The drawers were lined with gold and black sticky shelf liner.
I'm sure once upon a time marbled black shelf liner was very
 desirable, but not anymore.

 BEFORE                                                       AFTER

I removed the sticky black paper, pulled all the staples that

 also held the paper in, removed the glue gun glue that also

 held the paper in, and then washed the entire drawer with

 soap and water.

 EASY TIP TO HELP DRAWERS SLIDE BETTER

is to wax your drawer runners so they move in and out much easier.

You can use a candle or a bar of soap by simply rubbing them along the bottom of your drawer.

I have my furniture paste wax handy most of the time so I quickly paint some on the inside

along the drawer supports and even on the inside walls where the drawer might rub. 

 I finished these drawers off by re-lining them with a prepasted wallpaper.
