Everything in this slideshow Before: A Neglected Dresser When Sharon of Lilikoi Joy found this dresser on Craigslist, she was able to look past the nicks, dents, and misaligned drawer handles because she loved the serpentine drawers. Sharon used an oil-base primer, acrylic paint, antiquing glaze, and polyurethane to give her Craigslist dresser a coastal vibe.

The depth you see was created by layering a dark glaze atop bright turquoise paint. To update the hardware, Sharon spray-painted inexpensive drawer pulls, attaching them after she repositioned the screw holes. Get more information at Lilikoi Joy. Jennifer of Dimples and Tangles lucked out when she found a pair of high-quality bamboo-style nightstands on Craigslist. Unfortunately, they hadn't aged well; the legs were chipped, the finish was in bad shape, and the color was just off. Glossy spray paint transformed the twin Craigslist castoffs into bright red beauties perfect for her daughter's bedroom. Jennifer tried liquid gilding paint for the first time on the hardware to give them the appearance of metal. We think it worked! Get more information at Dimples and Tangles. Tips for Using Spray Paint Before: Big and Bulky Sarah of Sarah M. Dorsey Designs thought she scored with this $25 Craigslist dresser. Sure, it had a questionable Formica top, but it was built with solid-wood dovetailed drawers.

Once she got it home, she learned that the bottom of the dresser had water damage she couldn't sand down. To start, Sarah removed the water-damaged bottom and raised the dresser off the ground with a new set of legs. She then mixed two shades of chalk-finish paint to create a custom coral that really pops in her guest room. Finally, she updated the hardware with a coat of metallic spray paint.

The veneer was the "consistency of shredded corn flakes," she says, and it was missing a few drawers, but Mandi was confident the solid-wood drawer fronts were salvageable. After: Standing Proud and Tall Mandi stripped the hardware with acetone, sanded all 58 drawer fronts, and replaced some trim. She had planned to sell the storage piece, but it sat in her garage for nine months. Then one day she brought it inside to replace the base, and now the revived card catalog stands proudly in her home.
