Thrifted Treasures: Updated Deco Dresser

This treasure was snagged at my favorite local thrift store for $80. Although I loved it as it was, there were some damaged places between the drawers.

I took inspiration from two toned furniture like this (I noticed the same look on the  tables at Anthropologie too.)

So I used some Behr Premium oops paint and painted the skeleton of the dresser. Because I didn't paint the part that is handled often (drawers or the top) I didn't even have to prime. 
When the bones of a piece of furniture are well made, a layer of paint can give quite the facelift.
