Navy Blue Dresser Makeover For Under $50

Modern Coastal Dresser Makeover in Navy Blue-Sherwin Williams Naval

When I was asked to be a part of Beth’s Thrifty for Under $50 blog hop I was thrilled! Who doesn’t love a good challenge and an excuse to save some money? I know I do! Since I was in the middle of Jack’s Modern Coastal Room Makeover I thought why not paint the dresser I bought for him at a steal and go bold by painting it navy blue.

If you are coming from Nest of Posies, welcome! Let me start by saying I like painting furniture, you can find old pieces anywhere from garage sales & thrift stores to Craigslist for cheap. And usually, they are made way better than new. This one below I found at a yard sale for just $10, the highboy Shane has in his room, also $10. They both were made from the Vermont Maple Furniture Company and still have the original sticker inside {so cool}. They also have all of the SS numbers of everyone in their family written on an inside draw, along with each of their names. I treasure these little bits of history that are left behind with vintage items.

How to paint your dresser…

  1. This looks great, Jen, and I love the navy blue! Perfect for a little boy’s room! And it’s great when you can find inexpensive furniture for boys’ rooms because it’s going to get some ‘binks’!
