Steps I took to create this look:
- Cleaned the interior, back, and bottom with Dawn dish soap and water. Cleaned the finished surfaces with degreaser
- Scuff sanded the entire piece with 220 grit sandpaper and my SurfPrep sander
- Re-glued loose drawer slides with wood glue and clamps
- Primed with Melange Paints Stain Blocking Primer in white
- Painted in the color Ginkgo Green by Melange Paints
- Sealed with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat and my favorite top coating brush
- Lined drawers with peel-and-stick wallpaper
- Added new hardware to the existing hardware holes
