Q&A

Consider painting your nightstands to tie them into the overall design of your master bedroom. Alternatively, you can explore other finishes, like a dark green color, for a unique and stylish look.

What products did you use to refinish the dresser?

We used an RTA (Ready to Assemble) kit to refinish our dresser. The kit included a primer, wood graining products, and gel stain to achieve a beautiful wood-like finish.
