What happens here
Begin by thoroughly sanding the entire surface of the dresser. Use an orbital sander with a vacuum attachment for large, flat areas to remove existing paint and smooth imperfections, minimizing dust. For corners, edges, and harder-to-reach spots, use a hand sanding block or sanding paper. The goal is to create a smooth, even surface for the new paint to adhere to. The dresser initially appears white, suggesting a repaint.
Goal: Prepare the dresser surface for painting
