Transforming a dresser into a console

Hello everyone!
I love fall, but now I’m looking forward to my other favourite holiday: Christmas.
When I’m looking for a piece of furniture I always look to see what catches my eye and what I can do to it. I saw this dresser and knew what I wanted to do with it. I wanted it to have legs and a new top. The one drawer was broken during the move with the owner so I knew I would make that drawer space into a shelf. When painting that space, make sure to paint the whole top inside white because you will see it from the shelf up. 

My idea was to make the top grey stain, and the body white. First I lightly sanded the piece and then used vinegar to clean it. I primed it with two coats of primer and I painted the legs that I had pre-ordered.

The top is solid wood cut into two boards and stained in grey (same with the shelf). The shelf had two support boards underneath and several vertical boards on top.

I also painted the hardware white. I wasn’t sure about keeping the original drawer pulls but they turned out perfectly!
I painted the entire piece in 2-3 coats of Simplicity. Once dry, the top and shelf were glued and nailed securely.

I sealed  the entire piece including the top and the shelf in a clear top coat.

To attach the legs I cut two blocks of two by fours and glued and screwed them together. The legs came with metal plates that you attach on to the last piece of wood. Make sure they are secured tightly. 

Thank you so much for reading!
