I looked at my white dresser & realized, wow this is looking dirty & dingy! I remembered a pin on Pinterest that I saw a while ago, displayed below. I love the blue color but I thought a grey ombre would go better in my bedroom & that it'd be a more neutral color for future bedroom changes.

Having some time on my hands I headed on over to the local home depot to pick up the supplies I needed.
Below is a list of the supplies I ended up getting.
1 quart of Behr Lunar Surface in an eggshell finish
1 quart of Behr Cosmic Quest in an eggshell finish
1 quart of Behr Slate Rock in an eggshell finish
1 pint of Rustoleum White paint in a semi-gloss finish
1 paint roller wand with a 4" white foam roller
4 pack of 4" white foam rollers
6" plastic mini roller tray
Plastic 9' x 12' drop cloth
Make sure to ask for stir sticks & can openers!
All of this added up to be about $65
Once home I got right to work, as I was so excited to get this project started! Below are my step by step directions:

1. Lay out drop cloth
2. Take all drawers out of dresser & place on drop cloth
3. Take off all hardware on front of drawers
4. Open can of Rustoleum White paint & pour into tray
5. Paint body of dresser & let dry for a few hours
6. Rinse out tray & throw away old paint roller
7. Open can of Behr Lunar Surface paint & pour into tray
8. Put new foam roller on paint roller wand
9. Take top 2 drawers & paint them Behr Lunar Surface
10. Rinse out tray & throw away old paint roller
11. Open can of Behr Cosmic Quest paint & pour into tray
12. Put new foam roller on paint roller wand
13. Take next 2 drawers & paint them Behr Cosmic Quest
14. Rinse out roller tray & throw away old paint roller
15. Open can of Behr Slate Rock paint & pour into tray
16. Put new foam roller on paint roller wand
17. Take bottom 2 drawers & paint them Behr Slate Rock
18. Rinse out tray & throw away old paint roller
19. Let all drawers dry for a couple of hours
20. Once everything is dry, put drawers back into dresser
21. Put hardware back on drawer fronts
22. Tah Dah! You're done! :)
