Two Toned Dresser Inspiration for the Nursery

If you all follow me on Instagram, you know that I was debating on buying a dresser last week. It isn't a new dresser, but an antique six drawer mid-century dresser for our nursery. I measured, went home and measured and then decided it was perfect and at $150 I couldn't resist!



It is in really good shape, but needs a little sanding on the top from minor scratches. I love the look as is, but am thinking I need to brighten this piece up for the nursery. Have you seen pictures of two toned dressers around on pinterest and other blogs? Well I have and the more I see them, the more I like the idea.

What do you all think about painting the dresser two toned? Which inspiration picture was your favorite?

  1. i love the two toned look. i have finally done one of my own that i will be blogging about shortly, and kept the wood drawers and sides but painted the top white. i love that second to last one, the credenza, and it's similar to that but with only the top white. i don't know, i think it's more timeless like that. i am sure it will be awesome any way you paint it.

    1. I never thought of just painting the top white! You will have to send me a picture. I would love to see the finished look.

  3. Yes... meant to message you back on IG about that! I love the two-tone look on pieces like the one you bought. I don't think you can go wrong with the wood and paint look or going with 2 shades. Can't wait to see what you do and you know I'll help any way I can if you need it!

  4. I like white with gray drawers. White with tan drawers would be nice too. I think it would depend on the nursery color scheme you decided to go with. How about striping it like your hallway with a white top?
