Dresser Makeover: Antique White with Brown Top

Here is the dresser in process and almost done ! I have to paint the sides the antique white along with the bottom drawer. One of the knobs broke when I went to take them off. What to do? They were the only 6 left at Anthropologie. I got to go do a little shopping and searching for similar one! Here is the dresser before I did some work on it today !

The dresser was the tan color all over.
I decided to take "before" photos
after I started painting.
the bang up top is what inspired me to attempt my first refinishing project

Spiced Wine from Valspar
this reddish brown should match the stain
of the round accent table pretty well.

(bad image)  the knobs I found on sale at Anthropologie.
I just couldn't get myself to buy 6 $8 knobs !

after three coats of white, some sanding,
two quotes of Antique White.

My parents were getting annoyed with all the sanding and painting, but I wasn't happy or satisfied with a bright white dresser once I saw it. My mom found two gallons of Antique White on our paint shelves. I, also, used one gallon for my walls (since I won't be living here permantly and we just needed to refresh the walls). I figured I would go with a brown top to break up and seperate the dresser from the wall. Well, I got to go finish this dresser so we can bring it up to my room tonight ! :)
