**Sanding and Staining**: Start by sanding down the entire dresser to remove the old finish. Use a medium-grit sandpaper, then switch to a fine-grit for a smooth surface. After that, wipe it clean and apply a wood stain in your favorite color. Finish it off with a clear polyurethane coat for protection.

**Chalk Paint**: If you want a more modern look, consider using chalk paint. It requires minimal prep, so just clean the dresser and start painting directly. You can distress it a bit after it dries for that vintage vibe. Seal it with a wax or topcoat to make it durable.

**Decoupage**: Get creative with decoupage! Use pretty paper or fabric to cover the surfaces. Just apply a layer of mod podge, stick your material on, and seal it with more mod podge. This is a fun way to give your dresser a unique and personalized look.
