It clearly had seen better days. I believe the previous owner used it in their kitchen - so it had lots of dings and scratches on the top and the inside smelled like rotten food.
Jingles has to check everything out...
After what seemed like days of sanding, painting, and some new knobs this is what it became!!:
The color is Behr Premium Plus Ultra (primer built in) in Ozone. This paint is my new favorite. It's a little pricey but it only took one coat and the color was perfect!!

That came out so nice!! Some people just have a knack for seeing this kind of thing - you are obviously one of them.
Beautiful dresser! I recently did one VERY similar to this! You can see mine here:

A stunning makeover! The details are so much better looking now.

It's so beautiful. The detail is awesome. I love the color, too! I'm a fan. Great job!
This bureau has such a nice shape to it and beautiful detail...you did a great job and I love the color you chose to paint it! Pat yourself on your back!!
It looks great... did it really only take one coat? I bought some for my trim and it looks like I'm going to have to make two coats.
I love your dresser, such an elegant shape.
i love how the detail looks so sophisticated now. the color is perfect!
It just looks so fresh and pretty. I love the color you chose!
That turned out fabulous...Jane sent me over to visit from "Blondie's Journals"...so glad I stopped by!
WOW your chest turned out wonderful! Love the color you chose. I came to tell you that the SPRING goodies you sent Jane at Blondie's was great! CUTE! What did she send you? Charlene
GORGEOUS!
This turned out great!!
Did you spray it or roll it? Love, love, love the color. I am thinking about investing in a sprayer this week since my business is doing more and more furniture all the time. Let me know if you spray!
Stop by my painting blog and say hello sometime!

Girl, you were blessed to get that for $10!!!
You made it yours. I've heard you can use Vodka to wipe down olden furniture to get rid of the smells. I've considered getting a little nip of it to use for that purpose.
I love how your dresser turned out. Well done.
I love how the dresser got transformed into such a beauty..Great job!
Love the color! I have a little dresser that needs painting, but I just can't commit to a color.
Its lovely. How wonderful that you saved it.

So pretty!! Love the color! Been seeing a lot of this gray/blue type color around. Looks wonderful!!
Awesome! What a bargain and I love that color. Good job. :)
LOVE it! What a beautiful piece and I love the color you picked. Glad to hear you liked the paint... I've been wondering if they are worth the extra money.
Lovely redo -- use it in good health! Hope you will have time to come take our tour of the Architectural Digest Home Design show. -- Jane F
Wow, I love the dresser and the paint colour. Just curious did you get rid of the smell? If so, how? I re-painted a garage sale desk for my son, primed the whole thing with a odour blocking primer and it still smells like a barn!
This looks so fresh. Nice find.
I love it!! What a difference!!
BEAUTIFUL! Great color!
