While D was remodeling our master bedroom I decided that a fresh coat of paint may be a great solution to updating our bedroom furniture to go with the new vibe.

Gorgeous right? Although painting the furniture was such a tiny piece of the overall remodel, it was definitely a necessary touch - ideally the furniture in the room should take no attention from the craftsmanship.
Updating the furniture to be black seemed like the way to go so I bought some paint, a paint brush, painting tape, borrowed D's palm sander and went to work on it.
Here is what one of the dressers looked like before

I chose a high gloss finish paint from our local Home Depot, the quart was enough paint for two dressers and a nightstand.
I also bought this paint brush, also from Home Depot.
To prep the dressers and nightstand I sanded them using a palm sander.
I just sanded until the shine was gone, like the drawer on top in the photo below.
I used a damp cloth to remove the dust and taped off any areas that I didn't want to get paint on.
I did the painting after I got off work and on a weekend so overall the project took me about a week to knock out.
I like using black in our home, it feels very grounding to me. Obviously the focus of our room is not on the furniture at all, but it shouldn't be!
I am really happy with how the room came together and how beautiful our refreshed furniture looks in it!
