Mealplan Monday #70 and some paintin' goin' on

This week the main project I want to get accomplished is re-finishing this dresser that once belonged to Firstborn.  For whatever reason, he didn't want to take it with him.  But it's solid wood and I see a lot of storage potential for my sewing supplies.

There were a lot of scuffs on it.  I bought it as a set several years ago and painted it a glossy black.  I think I paid around $160 for a dresser, nightstand, bookcase headboard, and desk at Salvation Army. We never used the headboard, so it's being used in the garage.

I like that the drawers have no hardware to fool with.  I plan on painting it a pretty color and putting it in the new spare bedroom.  I need something that will compliment with grey blue walls - dark grey, coral, fern green, navy blue, cream...so many choices.

I sanded the shine off all of it and wiped them down to dry on the back patio.  No problem since it's a billion degrees outside.  I estimate I spent about two hours on this part.  I think maybe the prep is the most important part of a project like this, and the least enjoyable...

Primed and ready to paint.  I am going to move it into the the air conditioning to paint since there will be less humidity and bugs.  Care to guess the color I finally went with?
