This cute little dresser had been hangin out in my garage for about a year – i finally finished it up and think it turned out pretty cute :)
It was missing the top drawer so i put down a piece of thin piece of fiberboard to give it a finished look. If your pieces are missing drawers, or the drawers are beyond repair – just leave the space empty. You could put a basket in there, some folded up blankets, use it as a cute little bookshelf or use it as a tv console and put your tv components in there.
I went a little bright with the color – but its kinda has a funky retro vintage style, so the blue/green i chose worked perfect. I did put a coat of straight stain over the dresser (dark walnut) to tone down the color a bit and give it a more aged look. Just brush the stain off and wipe it off – kinda like glazing that i showed here.

After…sorry about the bad picture quality – i was in a hurry

Love it. Now I won't pass by a dresser just because a drawer is missing.
Very pretty piece – love the fact that the drawer is missing and the color just makes it pop.
I love everything about this! Great job!
It is literally painful knowing that I don't live close enough to benefit from the beautiful work you do bringing furniture back to life.
That turned out incredible… way better than the before! That color is so great – must try my hand at this painting furniture thing!
Ok, I've never been a fan of Waterfall furniture….but you actually made this GORGEOUS! The color is amazing! :)
That is such a lovely dresser. I love the color.
Great tip about the missing drawer. I always pass over furniture that has missing or badly broken drawers, but not anymore. Thanks for the tip and your dresser turned out gorgeous!
Looks amazing! And I love how you used it even though the drawer was missing! Great idea! :)
