I'm going to distress it and paint it black. Hammer, sander, any other ideas what I can use to beat the crap out of this thing. I want to put some character into it and get out some aggression. Should be fun.

So I have an old dresser in my bedroom. It used to belong to the ex and was recently told that it doesn't belong in a single man's bedroom. I
don't want to buy a new dresser, so I plan on redoing this one.

You could try berating it.

If the dresser doesnt bother you as is, dont change it.

No. It must be damaged.

Paint slutfest on the side of it, then go at it with a sledgehammer.

Slutfest. Good word.
It is way too gay for a man and needs to be changed. |

Let that shit go. Remove all traces of her that you can. Don't let those memories prevent you from living a full life. You are single. Hear you roar. (with apologies to Helen Reddy) Google™ is your friend |

It's been a year and a half. I'm not worried about the memories so much any more.
I need to update my style and without a job at this point, buying new furniture, even from Salvation Army is pushing it. It will be a fun project. But I have a promising interview on Friday. |

The Salvation Army has gotten quite picky. I wasted a day off to find this out.

Can you:
just sandpaper it to make it look more masculine? Change the knobs? Post a pic of it? and was recently told that it doesn't belong in a single man's bedroom.Someone was in your bedroom, and they commented on the dresser?

You should paint it lavender with little rainbows and unicorns. Then replace the knobs with dildos.

Okay, it looks much better.
I need to find someone to do that to my dresser. |

I think I'm going to do it to the night stand, tv stand and other dresser to make them all match. But I need more paint. Maybe next week.

You were allowed to keep the laundry basket there?

It turned out very nice.

Thank you. It was a fun snowy day project. My son helped me with the distressing.

And I'm allowed to keep my laundry basket wherever I want. But you have to admit she was right, that dresser did not belong. I mean, look at that pink
thing on it! Look at it. It had to be changed.
It's one of those things you just get used to seeing for 10+ years and don't realize it until someone else points it out. |

I don't see the words "slutfest" anywhere. Am I blind?

I did it in Morse code and Braille with the distressing.
