Transform a FAKE WOOD dresser to match your personal style (or, if you're like me, flip for a profit)!

Most big box store furniture pieces (Ikea, Ashley Furniture, etc) are not real wood. They're typically particleboard or MDF (medium-density-fiberboard) underneath a very thin surface. This doesn't mean you can't paint it to give it a makeover though!

This MDF dresser got a total makeover with paint and some fun trimmed out burlap details on the drawers. Freshened up the hardware and added drawer liners and it's a totally different piece!
