Q: I got the dark Malm dresser when I moved to Chicago for law school three years ago, and I just can't stand it but can't afford to replace it right now. It's too dark for my tiny bedroom. I'd like to paint it and possibly attach some drawer pulls to give it more character. I'm afraid to do so without confirmation from someone that's done it before that it won't destroy the dresser and make it look worse! Any ideas / direction to a website that has a good DIY project for the Malm dresser?

I'm in the EXACT pickle - I bought 2 Malm dressers when I moved to LA for law school 2.5 years ago and don't really like the look anymore but don't want to toss them. I don't have an artistic eye and can't figure out what might look good! I'm just worried that pulls might look funny on such a sleek piece and I have no idea what to paint...
