Instructions: Our first job is to take off the old fixtures. Don't throw them out, though. You may find a use for them with another project in the future. Our second job is to prep our dresser drawer for painting. There isn't much you have to do when refurbishing old furniture; taking a piece of sandpaper and roughing up the surface will do. Finally, we can start painting each individual drawer as a "suitcase." We chose earth tones for our colors. This is in keeping with the colors that were common and popular during the sixties, fifties, forties, and before.
