Lime & Lovin it!

Ok, so I'm sure you know where this idea came from, just sayin'...
But, I love it anyway!  Had this dresser for about 4 years or so, it originally came from a yard sale for $5.
It definitely needed either A) A New Life or 2) Put on the curb....
Do junkers ever really put anything on the curb???

Yep, that's my hound...he's not camera shy...total ham!

So this was one of my 1st adventures in painting laminate, nasty stuff to work with!

Had to remove the drawer roller tracks on the inside.

I filled the screw holes with DAP and sanded smooth...not lovin' this sandpaper, need a new sanding block!

Absolutely HAVE to apply a primer over the laminate before you paint! 
I chose a spray primer for this project...I was kinda lax about it too since
it's just going in my daughter's room and she's not picky.

Even with the primer, this was very difficult to paint, I already had some green spray paint from
a desk I'd previously done, but I did have to purchase a few more cans.  It did not go on very
evenly...could be the wind...could be me...who knows?

Yes Sarge, we notice you!

I chose a retro-patterened fabric at a local craft store, it was the perfect combo of colors for my teenager's room!
The fabric was attached with spray adhesive...very interesting stuff to work with...word the the wise, move quickly once you spray! Then trim the edges with a razor blade.

Left the drawer in the bottom to use for shoes/accessories, could have put a shelf above it, but loved the exposed fabric I lined it with!

Because I have an affinity for junk, I collect little treasures such as this knob, just had it laying around the house, think it came off a cupboard years ago.

Love the chrome look of it for a more modern look...

What's missin'?  A clothing rod of course!  Found this great curtain rod at, you guessed it, a yard sale...notice the price...hehe>  Had to cut it with a jig-saw... Tiff + power tools = yay!

Went to the home improvement store where a lovely gentleman directed me to these closet-rod holders.

Of course they needed a paint job!

Very nice warehouse worker man then gave me a tip to glue those suckers down with some good adhesive

while screwing in for a better hold...I love to glue stuff...so ok!

And yes, I used a drill...

Not bad!

Had this trinket lying around from an estate sale, had to throw it on for some additional character and place to hang stuff.

While I'm not a great photographer, you can see the finished product!  Yippee!

disclaimer* While this project appeared to move quickly, it was actually several days of trial and error...as is normal for a person with junk-issues...
