Reese was so excited when she received a hand-me-down bedside table for her bedroom. The shape and size were perfect, but the color, knicks and scratches, and missing hardware needed some fixing asap. I am usually one to shy away from any DIY projects, but after attending an Ace Hardware Workshop in NYC featuring the Amy Howard at Home Collection, I felt I was up for the challenge. The Amy Howard at Home One Step Paint requires no sanding or prep so it’s all very easy to use! Ace Hardware sent me my favorite colors, of course white being my go-to, as well as some amazing stencils, and we {yes, I had my kids help!} got out our paint brushes and got to work. Below are a few before images of the dresser; then below that, I share the finished look as well as a few sweet updates to the room. We are in love with Reese’s girly haven!
