This ombre dresser looks great in a child’s room, but the painted ombre look is popular throughout the house these days.<\/p>\n

\n

Natalie Dalpias,\u00a0The Creative Mom<\/a>, used chalked paint to create the ombre effect on this old dresser. And as you’ll see, it’s an easy paint project that’s fun to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Painted Ombre Dresser Project<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have been loving the ombre trend, which has become really popular the last few years. I knew I wanted to try it out somewhere in my home, but I wasn’t sure where I wanted it. So when my little boys wanted their room updated and refreshed, I found the perfect place to try ombre– their old dresser.<\/p>\n

I am in love with the way it turned out, and I\u2019m excited to show you guys how I painted this dresser with Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint<\/a>. I’ll let you in on a little secret… this whole transformation only cost about $60. You can’t beat that price for a truly custom piece of furniture.<\/p>\n

The Old Dresser<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve had this dresser for a few years. It was a yard sale find, and it was in great shape- super sturdy and strong! It had good bones, but wasn’t anything special, so it was the perfect piece of furniture for a face lift and a new paint job.<\/p>\n

And this is what it looked like after a fresh coat of paint with the ombre effect.<\/p>\n

Those ombre drawers turned out exactly how I had hoped they would. This dresser is just boyish enough to be cool for my sons, but cute enough that I’m in love with it too.<\/p>\n

The bright white sides and top really brightened everything up, and made such a difference in the way this dresser looked. I just love the moody, charcoal gray paired with this bright white- it is such a great color combination.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to see how I transformed this yard sale dresser for about $60?<\/p>\n
